This dissertation presents a study on the gay subject on these Brazilian literature books for teens: O amor não escolhe sexo (1997), by Giselda Laporta Nicolelis; Menino ama menino (2000), by Marilene Godinho; Cartas marcadas (2007), by Edson Gabriel and Antonio Gil Neto; and O Diário de Rafinha as duas faces de um amor (2009) by Léo Dragone, in order to problematize the values concerned to the homosexual relationships, by the update of the discussion in a socialcultural view through the narrative fiction. According to the theories of Foucault (1997); Silva (2007 and 2009); Facco (2009); Souza Junior (2002): theories and critical conceptions about culture, identity, prejudice and tolerance were discussed; putting into evidence the cultural stereotypes built along the time. These stereotypes marginalize and diminish people considered "abnormal" in society. This study intends to analyze the new point of view attributed by the contemporaneity to these excluded people. During the analysis of these books, there was a focus on the identification of the positive aspects from these characteristics on children literature. Thus, even the personal and social conflicts experienced by the characters due to the consciousness of their sexual identity; the metaphors from the texts suggest that it is possible to dreams come true and live with the "different" in society harmouniously.
