Delegacia e Defensoria Pública no combate à homofobia em Belém do Pará
(Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul, 2011-12) NASCIMENTO, Lázaro Castro Silva; PIMENTEL, Adelma do Socorro Gonçalves
In 2009, in Brazil, have been reported 195 assassinations by homophobia. Of this total, 20 have been reported in north side of the country. This index leads the discussion about the effects of homophobia in Belem of Para. Therefore, we tried to identify what institutions watch over the expected public polices to tackle this kind of violence and what is the understanding by the heads of these institutions about this phenomenon. The Delegacy of Combat to the Discrimination Crimes and the Public Defender’s Office through the Human Being Nucleus were the two researched institutions of Belem. This is an exploratory research in which has been used a qualitative methodology of data collection: bibliographical examination, observation, and semi structured interviews. We detected with the results that: the discussion about homophobia has grown and shown to be increasingly present in the society; the law project which aims to combat homophobia is an important public policy in development. We conclude that the discrimination and the prejudice against sexual orientation pass trough explicit violent acts and hidden acts, for instance, to not witness the seen aggression. The homoerotic sexual orientation still being marginal for escape of the heteronormative standard. In Belem, add to that, there is no space for the full and free experience of living the sexuality without prejudices, which instigates further researches into this topic.

“‘Different but equal’ – the happening of the combat to homophobia in the Project Health and Prevention at School (SPE)” is the title of this thesis which takes as object of analysis the discursive practices and subjectivities shaped in the combat to homophobia in the Project Health and Prevention at School. We have elected as nodal question of analysis: which discursive practices and subjectivities are shaped in the production of the combat to homophobia to the SPE Project? As developments of this question we defined the following questioning: which position do the human rights occupy in the combat to homophobia? In which way are the valorization of the difference and the respect to diversity used as strategies to the overcome of homophobia in the SPE curriculum? How is the articulation between the promotion of health and combat to homophobia done in the curriculum of the project mentioned? In order to guide the analytical movement of the thought to be followed in these questionings, we have adopted the Michel Foucault’s theory-conceptual tools, mainly those related to genealogy, subject-government techniques, such as discipline and bio-politics, and the ways of subjectivation. As principal empirical material of analysis we have taken the booklets collection produced by the SPE project, ‘Adolescents and youngsters to the among peers education’, and some secondary documents of the policy of combat to homophobia, such as the National Curricular Guidelines and the Program Brazil Without Homophobia. The analysis of the documents allowed us to understand that the human rights became one of the main basis of the combat to homophobia in the Brazilian politics and that discursive practices in the field of the human rights are produced so as to give a character of solution to all the conditions which affect man in his conception of universal citizen and civilized man. Besides, the SPE, by using the respect to diversity and the valorization of the difference as one of the strategies to the combat to homophobia, linked the sexual diversity to one essence of the human nature designed the difference as a mark which identifies those who live the sexuality out of the hetero-normative standards – that is, those who have a ‘differentiated sexual behavior’. It was possible to realize, thus, the shaping of the true types of subjectivity, the one where the subject who is not LGBT needs to recognize and respect the difference that exists in those who are not LGBT, not taking it as the basis to express any kind of prejudice; and that one where those who are LGBT should see themselves as holders of a difference that puts them in a special situation towards the violation of their rights and vulnerability to the contagion of diseases, mainly the STDs and AIDS.

Homofobia e assistência à saúde para pessoas vivendo com HIV/Aids
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-04-18) MORAES FILHO, Leomar Santos; LIMA, Maria Lúcia Chaves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2883065146680171
Homophobia is the term used to designate the feeling or attitude directed towards homosexuals that inferiorizes, antagonizes, discriminates or violates them due to their sexuality. The literature indicates that homophobia is socially produced, especially by cisheternormative and sexist ideologies, and can be perpetrated by individuals, communities or institutions. In contemporary times, homophobia has been experiencing a resurgence, especially when combined with living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (Aids). Therefore, this research aims to understand how homophobia impacts the health care of gay and bisexual men living with HIV/AIDS. Based on qualitative research, six gay and bisexual men aged 18 and over were interviewed, with positive HIV serology in an advanced stage of infection and hospitalized in an infectious disease reference unit. The interlocutors were contacted through dialogue with the institution's care team, reading of the medical records and an initial approach by the researcher to present the research. The interviews followed a semi-structured model and were carried out in person at the field hospital. To analyze the information produced, this study used Bardin's content analysis (2016). The results indicate that homophobia is part of everyday life and contemporary social dynamics and when combined with a positive HIV status, it becomes even more complex, producing specific situations of suffering. In the context of health care, among the most significant effects of homophobia, the presupposition of heterosexuality of all users stands out, inability to clinically manage sexuality that differs from heterosexuality and the non-recognition of this marker as clinically relevant health data. Furthermore, the experience of the interlocutors showed that the suffering they experienced has interfaces both with their life stories and experiences prior to the diagnosis and the context of inequities, social injustice, oppression and negligence by the State to which they are exposed.
