The Business of Belonging: Homocapitalism, Homonormativity and Cu/Queer Economic Geographies in São Paulo, Brazil
This paper examines corporate LGBTQ+ activism and the productive incorporation of queers into capitalism in Brazil.

Through this case study, the article shows the struggle surrounding the ‘norms of intelligibility’ imposed onto wor…
