Jorge José Emiliano dos Santos (19 March 1954 – 21 January 1995) also known by his nickname, Margarida (meaning Daisy, in English) was a Brazilian football referee, known for his flamboyant style.
In the 1980s, dos Santos, Válter "Bianca" Senra, Paulino Rodrigues da Silva, and Sérgio Cenedezi all faced scrutiny as the few openly gay referees of Brazil.
In a 1988 match between Volta Redonda and Flamengo, dos Santos faced homophobic slurs from the crowd due to his perceived "effeminate physicality.
Now if I happen to steal the show it’s because the game is boring.”[3]Luiz Mott and dos Santos met in the late 1980s while recording a segment for Canal Livre.
Notably, dos Santos' childhood idol Armando Marques aimed to remove gay referees from the Brazilian Football Confederation.
