Diversidade sexual em pauta: contribuições da psicanálise para o entendimento das subjetividades lgbtqiap+.

Abstract

This article's main objective is to contribute to the understanding of the subjectivities of LGBTQIAP+ individuals based on psychoanalytic theory, with specific objectives: presenting the contribution of psychoanalysis to sexuality studies since Freud, exposing how we arrived at the current understanding of LGBTQIAP+ subjectivities and rescue the contributions of psychoanalytic theory to the understanding of these subjectivities outside the category of pathologies. To this end, Freud's texts and the context of questioning the naturalness of sexuality for which they paved the way are taken as a basis. In development, we point out interactions between Psychoanalysis and demands for depathologization of the LGBTQIAP+ community, highlighting that it is a public vulnerable to violence. Furthermore, we bring forward points of discussion acknowledged by feminist queer studies. We also bring up the contexts in which terms such as “homosexuality”, “heterosexuality”, “sodomy”, “inversion” and “queer”, used to characterize the sexuality of individuals, emerged. Issues relating to masculinity and femininity are also addressed. Finally, the positions of contemporary psychoanalysts on maintaining an open listening to different subjectivities regarding sexual diversity are emphasized. Keywords: Psychoanalysis. Diversity. Sexuality. LGBTQIAP+. Queer.
