Sexuality and its spatial capital exploring their theoretical-locational expfessions in the middle-sized city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina. Geography is a science with few theories about the spatial dimension of sexuality at a national level, although this has been a fertile ground for other social sciences. Understanding public space as an otherness regulator, through mechanisms of control that imprint a spatial social hierarchy. In Bahía Blanca, alternative sexual practices still carry a stigma that hinders performative acts. Through flexible interviews and participant observation, the social space of these self-defined gay subjects is discussed, considering the sociosexual interstices linked to these practices, their day-night rhythms and the virtuality of these socializations. The goal is to question this space on the basis of the experiences of people self-defined as gay in an attempt, on the one hand, to explore the degree of fulfilment of these socio-spatial practices, and on the other hand, improve the tools provided by geography to better illuminate these locational experiences.

Palabras clave : Geography of Sexualities; self-defined gay subjects; spatial possibilities; Intermediate city of Bahía Blanca.
