Fronteiras hermenêuticas do Movimento LGBTQIA+ brasileiro: entre a (in) existência de políticas públicas e a atuação dos atores sociais

Abstract

The formative path of the Brazilian LGBTQIAP+ Movement was being built, in the midst of the struggle for the realization of a robust agenda in the search for the formulation and implementation of affirmative public policies, as well as defending the demand for recognition. It is, therefore, a recent phenomenon in the country, and it articulates multiple strands of accumulated knowledge, based on geopolitical and socio-state experiences. Affirming the LGBTQIAP+ population as subjects of rights in the secular State is perhaps one of the main points of tension, considering its intersectionality dimensions, and, for these reasons, the objective is to study and understand this context. Therefore, with regard to the methodological structure, the choice was made for a proposal of a qualitative and interpretative nature based on the bibliographic study, in order to build discourses and transits through the hermeneutic frontier. It should be noted, still as an internal logic of elaboration and conclusion, the deductive reasoning mode. In the first chapter, the socio-historical-analytical method was adopted. And in subsequent chapters, the critical-dialectical method. In the meantime, to analyze the historicity and hermenetic boundaries of the LGBTQIA+ Movement, as well as the (non) performance of social actors in the sphere of LGBTQIA+ public policies, the reflections are presented through delimited objectives. As a general objective, we have studied the LGBTQIA+ Movement in Brazil, in terms of the description of aspects related to its historicity and, from the conceptual point of view, of its resignification from the perspective of two distinct and at the same time interrelated spheres: the State and social actors. As specific objectives, there are: a) to analyze the interrelated categories to the LGBTQIA+ segment, namely, identities, sex, gender and sexualities; b) study the historicity of the LGBTQIA+ movement in Brazil and the resignification of its grammar by recognition; c) examine the (in) existence of LGBTQIA+ public policies, the (non) performance of the State and the performance of social actors. In conclusion, it was evident that the LGBTQIA+ Movement, as well as Social Movements in general, greatly contribute to the struggle for rights, citizenship and recognition of individuals and groups that historically find themselves marginalized and made invisible by the State and society. As well, it is evident that popular and citizen participation is essential, significantly promoting the processes of justice and social equity, in addition to strengthening democracy.
