At the end of the nineteenth century, the Portuguese republicans try to shake up the monarchy doing a real gay bashing against some members of the government. Homophobia becomes an element of political attack to demonstrate the degeneracy of the monarchy. If the church was also a target, in Portugal, the attacks were never ad hominem. The publication of O bispo de Beja (Santos Vieira, 1910), will add homophobia to republican anticlericalism. Though, this text reveals to be queer, exposing a non-normative sexuality, already present in the erotic and pornographic literature written in Portugal during the nineteenth century.
