This article attempts to show how the main character of Tengo miedo torero, a
‘queen’, is opposed to two patriarchal systems: on one hand the imperious system
and on the other hand the guerrilla system. In this literary work, homosexuality
is depicted as coming from aesthetics proper to camp, queer where performance
is revealed. We will analyze the way La Loca del Frente uses these three
elements to cope with her life in a military and macho/male context, usually kept
away from contingence, but dedicated to the guerrilla cause, either guided or
blinded by love. This political awareness is what gives to the camp, queer and
performance a deep and committed meaning by transforming itself into weapons
struggling against the dictator and making him emotional.
