O Cabaré Eldorado : onde a liberdade e a opressão dançam juntos

Abstract

In this article, I intend to show how male heterosexuality, heteronormativity and compulsory heterosexuality, together with extremist governments, corroborate, institutionalize, persecute and commit attacks against people from the LGBT+ community based on the constant defense of heterosexual principles. Our society, for the most part, is organized based on patriarchy, the power assured by men over others in society and with this a power relationship is created, or rather, power structures to which those who diverge from the sexual standard, heterosexual, is automatically placed at the bottom of the social pyramid. Faced with so many extremist governments that existed in the 20th century and still exist, I chose for this work and will address the persecution suffered by the German Queer community during the terrible Nazi government of Adolfo Hitler. Together a research object for writing this text, I use the documentary “O Cabaré Eldorado” available on the Netflix platform. In this documentary there are reports about the relationship between the LGBT+ community at the time and the Nazi movement, where freedom and oppression occurred simultaneously in Berlin.
