Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/7325Notwithstanding the major transformations in world economy and all advances in technology, Brazil is still a country marked by contrasts, bearing an authoritarian and conservative tradition. This can be clearly observed in the struggle to reduce discrimination against sexual minorities. Even with the fundamental rights written explicitly in the National Constitution, those vulnerable groups still find themselves marginalised, for it is hardly possible to visualize in the Brazilian State, true laicism and democratic order able to promptly guarantee those rights. Ensuring that homosexuals have the right to express their sexual orientation in any given situation, mainly in the work environment, is nothing more than to abide by the fundamental principles written in the constitution as well as following the principles declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The present work will narrow its scope to the study of the discrimination against sexual orientation in the work environment, further restricting its analysis on the discrimination against homosexuals only, namely, gays and lesbians.Acesso AbertoDiscriminação no empregoHomossexuaisMercado de trabalhoDireito do trabalhoDireitos humanosOrientação sexualDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITO::DIREITO PRIVADO::DIREITO DO TRABALHO
