%X ghettos are marginal territories, in which ethnic, religious, social and sexual minorities were encapsulated and segregated throughout history. crossed by flows and tensions on movement in the global landscape, such spaces should be reanalyzed under a global perspective. aiming to reflect on marginal territories of gender linked to lgbt sports events, this article has tried to re-think the concept of the ghetto from the "chicago school", and analyze it according to new lenses, applied to two global and specific lgbt world championships (gay games and world outgames). it was noticed that the occurrence of them and the expectations around "possibilities of ejaculation" of bodies, genders, sexualities, and desires, connected to the sports' world itself, open up the perspective that such events will perform a kind of "sexualized ghettos", i.e., territorialized spaces from sexual desires' practices, in the logic of a global circulation of desires, bodies and capitals.
