The purpose of this article is to study the practices, local and transnational networks, social translators and tensions surrounding the homosexual liberation movements of Argentina and Mexico. In order to achieve this objective, the author studies valuable archive material including publications from Europe, America and Oceania. We argue that this links proposed an early internationalization of the homosexual identity defined as radical that contrasted with the consolidation of the gay identity and that the first one tended to disappear. We also highlight the way links with gay, Trotskyist and feminist groups played a central role in homosexual politicization. Finally, we show how the unequal effects of the 70s throughout the world created tensions over the definition of a political identity.
