Movimento LGBTQIA+ no Estado de Goiás: análise do Processo de Entrelaçamento do Direito à Cidade como Conquista para a Consolidação dos Direitos Humanos e da Cidadania

Abstract

The search analyzes the articulation of social movements, in its expression related to the LGBTQIA+ Movement in the state of Goiás (2020-2022) in the light of feminist and human rights studies, with the general objective of understanding the milestones and the active contribution of the movement to the right to the city and citizenship. The theoretical and provocative conceptions of thinkers such as Henri Lefebvre, Maria da Glória Gohn, Nancy Fraser and Judith Butler constituted the essential theoretical framework. The research was essentially qualitative, making an effort to triangulate data and information, from the theoretical basis (dialectical materialism, intersectional and queer studies) to the sources (interviews, documents, documentaries and newspaper reports). The bibliographical research focused on the categories of citizenship, social movements and gender. The documentary research incorporated data on violence against the LGBTQIA+ population, human rights violations and public policies at national level. The results showed that the dynamics and histories of social movements, especially the LGBTQIA+ movement in the period in question, have the power to build a new notion of citizenship in relation to democracy, and that dissident subjects who radically resist using their affections and their bodies, beyond heteronormativity and the limitations imposed on spaces, are an essential part of the long journey towards the materialization of rights. Finally, we conclude that the LGBTQIA+ movement in the state of Goiás, through its struggle for recognition and rights in the city, is collaborating to materialize human rights and citizenship in public and private spaces, demanding legitimacy and participation as well.
