Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this article is to examine the causes of wage inequalities between gays and lesbians and their heterosexual counterparts and the trajectory along the wage distribution in Brazil.  The wage decomposition with correction of selection bias points to the greater wage advantage of gays, and the productive attributes and the market (education and occupations) are the most relevant causes, however the benefit resulting from homoaffective orientation is potentiated for lesbians. At the lower wage levels, the lowest wage inequality between gays and lesbians and their heterosexual counterparts is affirmed, but the lower benefit of homosexuality over wages in Brazil.
