This article surveys LGBTQIA+ characters in Tennessee Williams plays written between 1930 and 1960. With a total of fourteen characters in nine plays, the analysis shows how the playwright figures these characters, in a declared and open way. Thus, heteronormative and effeminate cis performances are identified, as well as cross-dress characters. It is possible to conclude that Williams does not use these questions only as a theme for they have connections with his private life. It is identified, in the figuration of these characters, a way of criticizing the contradictions of capitalism and bourgeois society that demand heteronormative behavior, leading them to violence, self-destruction and death.
