Bolsonarismo e população LGBTIA+: a violência como projeto de estado no Brasil (2013-2022)

Abstract

In this thesis, we analyze violence against the LGBTIA+ population in Brazil, based on the understanding that there is a structure that sustains this violence and that it was present — among other places — in the Bolsonaro government (2019-2022), which we consider an antiLGBTIA+ government. We examine the ways in which the State combats subjects/groups distinguished by their sexual and gender experiences that are dissonant from cisheteronormativity, as well as the place of the LGBTIA+ movements in this relationship. We find that violence against the LGBTIA+ population continues in Brazil, receiving support from the State, especially since the candidacy and victory of former President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro. We also realize that the printed media has given way to virtual means of communication, including digital social networks, transforming the ways of resistance of the press and social movements in their classical sense. The persistence of violence against the LGBTIA+ population is part of the process of reestablishing democracy and its stabilization/consolidation in the country, thus expressing one of its limits
