"LGBTFOBIA em pauta"

Abstract

This research aims to produce reflections on LGBTphobia, understood as a device that produces a vastness of violence directed towards the LGBT population (Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals) from the study of reports published by webjournalism produced between the years 2012 and 2022 and that mentioned the city of Araguaína and LGBTphobic violence. To study the contents, we rely on the apparatus of gender and sexuality studies strongly debated by queer theory. The collection of reports was carried out through the internet, 13 of which were selected for the production of the final work, where we aimed at those that revealed nuances of a dominant ideology about sex and gender. The content of the material was analyzed from the perspective of French Current Discourse Analysis (FDA), also supported by the theoretical references of queer studies. Thus, we concluded that most of the reports brought content that fostered stigmatization and the production of violence against the LGBT population in web journalism, especially about transvestites, and to a lesser extent, that this communication resource has also served to denounce and produce cracks. on fossilized modes of exclusion of this population in the studied territory.
