“No political freedom without sexual freedom”: 50 years from Stonewall

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze theoretically how the sexual liberation movements of the sixties of the twentieth century deconstructed the social, political and cultural precepts of citizenship, public life, family and the idea of the body itself. Subsequently, after an  ethnographic approach that allowed to register in the marches carried out in several local scenarios of the Mexican context 50 years after Stonewall, the main slogans that appeared on banners and blankets are registered to make an analysis with hermeneutical elements on them. Finally, we reflect on the elements of rupture with the old order from the struggles that
are still being followed in favor of citizen models that recognize people’s intimate life and diverse sexual orientations and gender self-identification.
