This article examines the challenges of trans and queer dissidence in Latin America in relation to the so-called "single-issue politics", which emerge as a phenomenon in contrast to broader struggles of sexual dissidence liberation movements in the United States and, by extension, across the rest of the hemisphere.  Throughout the essay, the author analyzes how revolutionary queer gestures function as disruptive practices against hegemonic social norms. Accordingly, the article focuses on how these gestures are articulated through artistic, cultural, and literary expressions grounded in narratives of emancipation and processes of normativity disruption.
