 Several heterosexual authors like Alejandro Jodorowsky and Enrique Lafourcade shared with homosexual artists who boosted their careers.Lafourcade devoted important roles to homosexuality in his early works as "Pena de muerte" (1952) and "Para subir al cielo" (1959).The relative openness of the topic in aristocratic, intellectual and artistic circles, influenced by events in Europe, allowed the publication of some foreign literary works that also portrayed homosexuality.
