SUMMARY:

This work aims to expand the debates about the hegemonic masculinity and its relation with homosexuality, since the theories about the masculinity studies is only for the heterosexual men, therefore, homosexual men are excluded from these issues, most of the times, just because the gay men do not have the women as an object of their desire and affection and other things. However, we have long realized that this becomes quite limiting and exclusionary, therefore, we believe that the assumptions of hegemonic masculinity serve all men, regardless of their sexual orientation, since the characteristics exalted by Berenice Bento's model (2012), for example, are also exercised by gay men. Nevertheless, with this, another problem arises, some of these men who behave as expected by male hegemony, have sexual relations with other men, even developing an emotional relationship, but these same men are unable to see or identify themselves as gay men, in their perceptions they continue to be straight men. Therefore, we believe that the novel Querelle de Brest (1986[1953]), written by the last poète maudit, Jean Genet, is able to explore these issues due the fact that in its narrative are a couple of exemples of toxic masculinity, wich was imposed socially, played by the gays characteres. Then, those characters present some behaviors that fit in the hegemonic masculinity, even when they keep having affectivesexual relationships, majority, with other men. Therefore, to make this research possible, we turned to some theorists who have studies involving the subject, such as R. W. Connell e J. W. Messerschmidt (2013); B. W. Sculos (2017); Mike Donaldson (1993), Michel Foucault (1984, 1988), Sigmund Freud (2016), Márcio Venício Barbosa (1998), Hélio Dias Furtado (2018, 2021), Judith Butler (2019), João Silvério Trevisan (2021), Jean-Paul Sartre (2002), Edmund White (2003) and other scholars who proved to be relevant for the better development of this research.
