    El artículo caracteriza los territorios de homosocialización y comunicación de la población LGBTQ+ en el territorio del municipio de Ciénaga-Magdalena (Colombia). A través de un diseño cualitativo y de un ejercicio etnográfico y de teoría fundada desarrollado en el territorio, la ciudadanía LGBTQ+ narra y reconstruye los sentidos relacionados con las formas de vivir, sentir y soñar el territorio. Las experiencias son contadas a través de contextos y experiencias que respetan el enfoque diferencial, lo que se convierte en un aporte para el diseño y consolidación de políticas públicas para personas LGBTQ+ en la medida que se fortalecen los procesos de comunicación para el cambio social y ciudadanía política en el territorio.

    The article characterizes the territories of homosocialization and communication of the LGBTQ+ population of the Casa de Paz of Ciénaga Magdalena. Through a qualitative design and an ethnographic and grounded theory exercise developed in the municipality of Ciénaga Magdalena (Colombia), the citizens of Casa de Paz narrate and reconstruct the meanings related to the ways of living, feeling and dreaming the territory. The experiences are told through contexts that respect the differential approach, which becomes a contribution to the design and consolidation of public policies applicable to LGBTQ+ spaces to the extent that communication processes for social change and political citizenship are strengthened in the territory.
