Abstract

Samuel Rawet’s essay “Homossexualismo: sexualidade e valor” (1970) is the first detailed examination in Brazilian culture of the phenomenon of so-called homosexuality. Rawet, in a true gesture of ideological innovation, distances himself from models that see homosexuality as, alternatively, a sin, a pathology, and a criminal act and defends it as an example of free human choice that he grounds philosophically in existential values of the human condition.
