| Resumo: | Gentrification is a process of regeneration, “elitización”, and whitening of certain neighborhoods in cities. In this urban phenomenon, counter-sexualities have found an opportunity, through purchasing power and consumption, to inhabit them and constitute other sites of expression. In this way, the presence of counter-sexualities in gentrified neighborhoods initiates a process of queerification, by assimilating and integrating lifestyles, families and LGBTIQ+ identities that ultimately question and open fissures in the long-established cisheteropatriarchal system. In this context, we analyze the relationship between queerification and gentrification in Mexico City’s Santa María la Ribera neighborhood. This study looks at the practices of consumption of spaces that offer food, drink, culture, art, and militancy. The focus is placed on LGBTIQ+ cultural consumption as a dynamizer of bodies and habitats that promotes the gentrification process and the deconstruction of heteropatriarchy.
