The paper discusses the norms and limits established in the experience of the LGBT population deprived of freedom in Ceará. It emphasizes power and hierarchy relationships based on gender and sexuality markers expressed by these actors in their relations with each other, with other prisoners, visitors, professionals and factions. The need for negotiation with mediators of different natures in daily prison has been imposing dramatic dynamics on LGBT people. Thus, sexuality markings gain prominence from the place that difference occupies in sexual-affective relationships established on the borders between inside and outside the prison.Published
