Abstract
The article analyses the disinformation circulation in Brazil from its socio-cultural
ground. It examines the false stories about gender and sexuality shared in 2019, arguing
that they take part in a field of moral disputes. The research involved mapping fake news
and rumors regarding these two markers through fact-checking agencies’ databases.
Narratives’ characteristics of false stories were examined by qualitative textual analysis,
and their publication sources were identified by reverse search in search engines. Among
the main findings, it is stated that at least 65 disinformation pieces addressed gender
and sexuality, most of them referring to events that guided the public agenda.
