Despite legislative and social advances for the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) individuals in Ecuadorian society, LGBTI individuals continue to face discrimination in the workplace. Faced with this situation, organizations have a responsibility to implement practices capable of restraining discrimination and violence and of promoting a culture of peace. This study proposes a series of inclusion measures based on information provided by 15 Ecuadorian lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) workers. Thus, we propose that by means of recruitment processes that attract diversity, training workshops to reduce prejudices and stereotypes, socialization events for workers, greater participation of LGB individuals and the establishment of anti-discrimination norms, it is possible to conceive a culture of inclusion of diversity in which there is a peaceful coexistence among workers, regardless of their sexual identity. ; A pesar de los avances legislativos y sociales para la inclusión de las personas lesbianas, gays, bisexuales, transexuales e intersexuales (LGBTI) en la sociedad ecuatoriana, éstas siguen siendo objeto de discriminación en el entorno laboral. Ante esta situación, las organizaciones tienen la responsabilidad de implantar prácticas que sean capaces de frenar la discriminación y la violencia y de promover una cultura de paz. Este estudio propone una serie de medidas de inclusión a partir de la información proporcionada por 15 trabajadores/as lesbianas, gays y bisexuales (LGB) ecuatorianos. Así, planteamos que mediante procesos de reclutamiento que atraigan a la diversidad, talleres de formación para reducir prejuicios y estereotipos, eventos de socialización entre trabajadores, una mayor participación de las personas LGB y el establecimiento de normas antidiscriminación, es posible concebir una cultura de inclusión de la diversidad en la que exista una convivencia pacífica entre trabajadores, con independencia de su identidad sexual.

Se analizan dos casos desde la perspectiva de género: la vida del activista político Harvey Milk y la del novelista Reinaldo Arenas, dos personajes de la vida pública de Estados Unidos y de Cuba, respectivamente, quienes experimentaron la vejación en contra de la comunidad homosexual en sus propios contextos, pero a la vez contemporáneos. This article analyzes two cases from a gendered perspective: the lives of political activist Harvey Milk and novelist Reinaldo Arenas, public figures of the 1970s in the United States and Cuba res¬pectively, each of whom experienced harassment against gay communities, in two very different contexts but during the same historical period.

"Gender, sex and sexuality are separate, distinct parts of people's overall identity, and are not always obvious or easy concepts to understand. Sexuality is about how you see and express yourself romantically and sexually. Gender refers to an internal sense of identity, while sex refers to the identity assigned to a person at birth based on physical characteristics. There are lots of ways to describe sexuality and gender, a number of which are captured by the term LGBTQIA+. Many LGBTQIA+ people face discrimination and prejudice that can affect their health, wellbeing, rights and opportunities. This book explores a range of issues across the sexual identity and gender diversity spectrum, including issues such as coming out and disclosure, being an ally to LGBTQIA+ people, and addressing the human rights of the LGBTQIA+ members of our community. Not everyone's identity and orientation is black and white. Learn how to acknowledge all people's true colours with acceptance and understanding, and without prejudice."--

Este artículo tiene como propósito reflexionar sobre la lógica heteronormativa1 que transversaliza las relaciones entre los diferentes actores que conforman la comunidad universitaria, cuya incongruencia se expresa en la práctica cotidiana, y plantear la necesidad de reconocer y resignificar las relaciones con personas con orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género no hegemónicas como un aspecto fundamental para el logro de la justicia de género, que implica a las personas, a las instituciones de educación y a la sociedad en general. Si bien el énfasis se hace en las orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género no hegemónicas, se asume una perspectiva epistemológica compleja en la que género y sexualidad se entrelazan con otros patrones de dominación como la etnicidad, la raza, la clase social, la edad, entre otros. ; The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the heteronormative logic that mainstreams relationships between the different actors constituting the university community (whose incongruity is expressed in everyday practice) and to raise the need to recognize and re-signify the relationships with people with non-hegemonic sexual orientations and gender identities as a fundamental aspect for achieving gender justice. Which involves people, education institutions, and society in general. Although the emphasis is placed on non-hegemonic sexual orientations and gender identities, a complex epistemological perspective is assumed in which gender and sexuality are intertwined with other patterns of domination such as ethnicity, race, social class, age, among other.

This article explores the relation between the State and social movements in the production of public education policies focused on gender and sexual diversity. This reflection takes as its main sources two recent investigations dedicated to understanding the introduction of gender and sexual diversity into public education policies in Brazil during the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva government: one livre-docência thesis (VIANNA, 2011) and another work that investigated how the curriculum policies were understood, appropriated and implemented by public school teachers in the state of São Paulo (VIANNA, 2012). The purpose of this article is to look at the production of these policies from the viewpoint of the tensions present in the dialogue between the Lula government and the social demands made by the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) movement to reduce inequality and to construct social rights. By discussing gains, losses and future challenges, the text highlights the contradictions found in the processes of interlocution between the government and the LGBT movement. When the government introduces gender and sexual diversity demands in education, it seems to be willing to give value to the theme without considering the power relations that determine the traditional parameters supporting gender relations and teaching identities in daily school life. ; Este artigo explora a relação entre Estado e movimentos sociais na produção de políticas públicas de educação voltadas para o gênero e para a diversidade sexual. Esta reflexão toma como fontes principais duas investigações mais recentes voltadas para a compreensão da introdução do gênero e da diversidade sexual nas políticas públicas de educação no Brasil, no governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva: uma tese de livre docência (VIANNA, 2011) e outro trabalho que verificou como as políticas voltadas para o currículo foram compreendidas, apropriadas e implementadas por professoras e professores de escolas públicas do estado de São Paulo (VIANNA, 2012). A intenção deste artigo foi olhar a produção dessas políticas a partir das tensões presentes na interlocução do governo Lula com demandas sociais por diminuição da desigualdade e construção de direitos sociais advindas do movimento LGBT (Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Transexuais e Transgêneros). Ao discutir ganhos, perdas e desafios futuros, o texto destaca as contradições presentes no processo de interlocução entre o governo e o movimento LGBT. Quando o governo introduz demandas de gênero e diversidade sexual na educação, parece querer valorizar o tema sem considerar as relações de poder que determinam os parâmetros tradicionais que sustentam as relações de gênero e as identidades docentes no cotidiano escolar.

Introduction: Sexually diverse individuals have been given little consideration in the health system, which does not address their particular needs and demands. Objective: To describe the perceptions of homosexual users with regard to the care provided by primary health services in the city of Valdivia, in southern Chile, and their approach to sexual diversity. Methods: qualitative, descriptive study. The information collected was through a semi-structured interview, and processed using content analysis. Results: The specific issues that affect and concern this population are the prevention of sexually transmitted infections and mental health. In turn, there is concern for the health of lesbian women, in terms of the late detection of cervical and breast cancer, due to their irregular attendance to gynecological appointments, and the difficulties they face in exercising their reproductive rights. Finally, the concern for the quality of life of older adults belonging to sexual diversity emerges. Discussion and conclusions: There is expressed concern for specific health issues that coincide with the literature. There is a clear need to generate changes in our public health system, which must address its cultural and institutional complexity through actions that go beyond the mere training of health personnel. These changes must be spearheaded by governmental authorities, who should transversally adapt these to the family health model and implement specific health programs that address sexual diversity. ; Introducción: La población diversa sexualmente ha sido poco considerada en su especificidad por el sistema de salud, el que omite sus requerimientos y demandas particulares. Objetivo: Describir las percepciones de usuarios/as homosexuales respecto a la atención brindada en el nivel primario de salud en la ciudad de Valdivia, en el sur de Chile, en su enfoque hacia la diversidad sexual. Método: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo. La información se recolectó mediante entrevista semiestructurada, y ...

El presente artículo analiza la incorporación, en la última década, de demandas y reivindicaciones provenientes de los movimientos feministas y de la diversidad sexual en las agendas de las agrupaciones universitarias. Se detiene en los cambios y permanencias en las prácticas políticas estudiantiles, en las estrategias de intervención y en los efectos que esta discursividad política produce en la experiencia estudiantil. Centralmente, esta nueva agenda posibilita la circulación de temas que se encuentran por fuera del repertorio instituido por los currículos y los procesos de trasmisión del conocimiento, y propicia una crítica a la formación universitaria. Al mismo tiempo, habilita una reflexividad de la dimensión genérica y sexuada de la condición de estudiante que lleva a cuestionar la normatividad sexo genérica en las instituciones universitarias. Este trabajo es el resultado de una investigación desarrollada en las facultades de Psicología y de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. ; This paper analyzes the incorporation, over the last decade, of lawsuits and claims from the variousfeminist and sexual diversity groups within the realm of university groups. The incorporation process is detained due to the changes and continuities in student political practices, the intervention strategies and the effects of this political discourse within the student experience. Generally, this new agenda enables the circulation of issues that are outside the established repertoire of the curriculum and the knowledge transmission processes; additionally, it promotes a critique of university education. At the same time, it facilitates reflexivity on the generic and gender dimension of student status that brings into question the generic gender norms in universities. This work is the result of research conducted in the Psychology and Natural Sciences faculties of the University of Buenos Aires. ; Fil: Blanco, Rafael. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Is heterosexuality the only natural? In the animal kingdom, Zoology has described different forms of sexual relations in addition to heterosexual; bisexuality, homosexuality, and transsexuality are more common among species than most are willing to accept publicly. Primatology in particular provides insight into sexual relationships between our closest relatives, monkeys and apes, which helps to understand the manifestations of human sexuality. Those who ignore these realities do so conditioned by an ideological power: heteronormativity. This academic paper is based on bibliographic research, whose purpose is to present two assertions: 1) A sociobiological one: animal sexuality (including human) is diverse and is not exclusively subject to biological procreation; 2) Another sociological: heteronormativity is an ideology that is an intrinsic part of patriarchy as a hegemonic social order. Heteronormativity is imposed as a cultural norm: domestic, labor, educational, religious, legal, ethical and political; it accuses sexual expressions other than heterosexuality of pathologies, makes their real dimensions invisible and constructs an artificial daily life with the rank of "natural". ; ¿Solo la heterosexualidad es natural? En el reino animal la Zoología ha descrito diferentes formas de relaciones sexuales además de la heterosexual; bisexualidad, homosexualidad y transexualidad son más comunes entre las especies de lo que la mayoría están dispuestos a aceptar públicamente. La primatología en particular aporta una visión de las relaciones sexuales entre nuestros parientes más cercanos, los monos y los simios, que ayuda a comprender las manifestaciones de la sexualidad humana. Quienes ignoran dichas realidades lo hacen condicionados por un poder ideológico: la heteronormatividad. Este artículo académico se fundamenta en investigación bibliográfica, cuyo propósito es exponer dos aseveraciones: Una sociobiológica: la sexualidad animal (incluida la humana) es diversa y no está sujeta exclusivamente a la procreación ...

This paper aims to analyze the process of organization of gay, lesbian,bisexual transvestite, transsexual, transgender and intersex identities (LGBTI)in San Salvador between 1992 and 2015. We identified four moments of thisprocess: 1) The "Gay Pride" represents the initial moment of organization inthe post-war period; 2) The "LGBTI" as result of the consolidation ofidentities; 3) The emergence of "Sexual Diversity" as a political player; and4) "Making a difference without being different" that represents restrictedsocial recognition. We used the concepts of sexual politics and symbolicactions for the analysis of each proposed historic moment. In conclusion, theLGBTI movement has promoted social questioning the binary patterns ofsexuality as well as the gender essentialism, through symbolic actions. Thesexual politics has focused on promoting the human rights of the LGBTpopulation.
