This paper discusses how a group of homoerotic (bisexual and homosexual) men in Puerto Rico became aware of their same-sex attraction, how they managed their sexual differences and their journeys in the path to acceptance and disclosure of their sexual identities. The paper attempts to provide a multicultural perspective to the analysis of the processes of how a sexual minority in a society that criminalizes sexual acts between people of the same sex confronts, accepts and discloses its differences with dominant heterosexism imposed by hegemonic masculinity discourses. /// Este artículo discute cómo un grupo de hombres puertorriqueños homoeróticos (bisexuales y homosexuales) descubrieron su atracción hacia otros hombres, cómo manejaron su disidencia sexual, y sus vivencias en el proceso de aceptación y revelación de sus identidades sexuales. El trabajo de investigación intenta proveer una perspectiva multicultural al análisis de los procesos por medio de los cuales una minoría sexual, en una sociedad que criminaliza los actos sexuales entre personas del mismo sexo, confronta, acepta y revela sus diferencias con el heterosexismo impuesto por los discursos masculinos hegemónicos. /// Cet article analyse comment un groupe d'hommes portoricains homoérotiques (bisexuels et homosexuels) ont pris conscience de leur attraction envers d'autres hommes, comment ils ont ménagé leur dissidence sexuelle, et leurs expériences dans le processus d'adaptation et de révélation de leurs identités sexuelles. Le travail de recherche essaie de fournir une perspective multiculturelle à l'analyse des processus par lesquels une minorité sexuelle - dans une société qui pénalise les actes sexuels entre des gens du même sexe - confronte, accepte et révèle ses différences avec l'hétérosexisme imposé par les discours masculins hégémoniques.
