In 2013, a gay congressman presented a civil union project that attracted social attention, generating a debate that brought visibility to LGBTIQ+ individuals. Faced with its rejection, activism opted for marriage equality as an equal option. This research aims to identify and analyze the ways in which discourses on marriage equality are constructed and redefined within a group of young gay men from Lima. The theoretical framework combines elements from gender studies, masculinities, queer theory, and sexual citizenship, along with tools from critical discourse analysis to identify their interpretive repertoires. Grounded in an interpretivist paradigm, a qualitative case study was conducted, involving 10 in-depth interviews with young men from Lima between 23 and 34 years old who identify —or identified— as gay. Three discourses on marriage equality were identified, coexisting with some friction and constructed in relation to their socialization within LGBTIQ+ circles and the ways in which they politicize their sexuality. First, a hegemonic egalitarian discourse that values the same legal and symbolic recognition of marriage equality, opposing other legal categories (civil union or property-based arrangements). Second, a critical discourse that considers marriage equality as a secondary demand compared to the survival needs of sexual minorities. Third, a minority discourse that, on one hand, embraces diversity, allowing the coexistence of different legal alternatives for diverse families; and on the other hand, advocates for freedom, considering the potential danger of governmental power over sexual affections.
