Interações, espaços e ambientes utilizados por entendidas belorizontinas: um caminho velado

This article discusses the invisibility of female homosexuality based on the experience of a “sisterhood” of lesbians from Minas Gerais born in the 1950s. The objective is to reflect on the uses they made of spaces and the possible interactions at the time. If it is from the processes of social interaction that sense and meaning in relationships emerge, the way in which the city welcomes or ignores and makes certain subjects invisible impacts their lives. The ways in which they appropriated the spaces available in the city of Belo Horizonte and the creation of other more reserved spaces were fundamental for the creation of long-lasting bonds of friendship and coexistence. Such bonds seem to have contributed to a more structured support network in old age, forged in relationships of affection, friendship and solidarity.
