About

The alarming rate of participation of the LGBTQ population in the suicide process, comprised of ideations, attempts, and the act of suicide, reveals a fourfold incidence of suicide among heterosexuals and heterosexuals. (TEIXEIRA-FILHO & RONDINI, 2012; CARDOSO, 2016). These figures demonstrate how social dynamics can affect LGBTQ people's perception of themselves in society, making it harder for speech and recognition as human beings.

The context of this presentation deals with themes related to the subjective, cultural and political constitution facing the various forms of exclusion and violence motivated by LGBTQfobia. In order to identify the formative framework of this phobia, a theoretical approach will be presented on the chauvinist and heterosexist structures existing in the family, school and relational space that subsequently undergo a process of interiorization by individuals.

Set-up:

1. Brief introduction to the theme
2. Screening of the short film "Love is all you need?" 19:12 min.
3. Three topics presentations:

3.1. The construction of the LGBTQ-phobic phenomenon
In this stage an analysis will be developed on the structural configurations that underpin the socially perpetrated LGBTQ-phobic discursiveness, specifying these aspects in face of familiar, school and relational dynamics.

3.2. The suicidal plot in the LGBTQ population
Statistics that show the association between the occurrence of ideations, attempts and suicides between LGBTQ subjects and forms of social and internalized LGBTQ-phobia.

3.3. Possible coping strategies
In this stage, we will seek possible coping tactics in the face of the suicidal problematic in the LGBTQ population, emphasizing the importance of effective measures and political security in the spheres of health and education aimed at LGBTQ people.

Target audience: Researchers in Gender Studies and Sexualities, teachers, students and other professionals with an interest in the subject
