The focus of this work is to understand the lesbian experiences of the Lesbian-Feminist Group (GALF), who acted politically at the time of the distension of the dictatorship. Such experiences will be read through the journal produced by them, the ChanaComChana newsletter. It stars from the principle of, in addition to a regulation in the field of traditional "political freedoms", there was also a concrete form of regulation of sexualities. To make explicit these scenes and, thus, indicating how gender norms were present is the challenge of this research. In order to fulfill the objectives, the methodological tool adopted is the documentary and descriptive analysis of content.
