É comum no Brasil ver os direitos de pessoas LGBTQI+ serem ignorados de forma social e institucional. Apesar das iniciativas estatais voltadas à tutela LGBTQI+, é notória a ineficácia destas, uma vez que discursos de ódio e atos criminosos são frequentes. Utilizando-se do método socioanalítico e da abordagem dedutiva, o texto analisa como o poder público tem tratado deste aspecto no contexto de direitos sexuais. Ao dialogar com a Teoria Tridimensional do Direito, discute a LGBTQI+fobia, aborda convergências entre os movimentos racial, de gênero e sexual e analisa a atuação estatal face à disputa pelo reconhecimento da identidade de gênero e orientação sexual. Sustenta ao final que a mera lei penalizadora é insuficiente para efetivar direitos antidiscriminatórios e, assim, reflete sobre meios para tornar eficaz, de fato, princípios constitucionais e direitos humanos.

Written in a reflexive, autoethnographic and essayistic mode, this article aims to provide an overview of the developments of LGBTQI+ rights in democratic Portugal and to identify the main frictions that affected and continue to affect them, while also providing glimpses of possible routes – in broad strokes – for making effective the changes in the life politics of LGBTQI+ people that are guaranteed in law.

"Through engaging case vignettes, exercises, and clinical examples, Drs. Goodrich and Luke provide a much-needed resource for planning, executing, and assessing the effectiveness of group work with the LGBTQI community. This comprehensive book will be a welcome addition to the library of any group worker who needs cutting-edge information on affectional orientation and gender issues for a wide range of groups and populations."--Michael M. Kocet, PhD, Bridgewater State University, Past President, ALGBTIC "Goodrich and Luke are to be commended for this excellent exploration of group counseling wi

The EU DIAL funded 'Comparing Intersectional Lifecourse Inequalities among LGBTQI+ Citizens in Four European Countries'1 (CILIA-LGBTQI+) project examines intersectional inequalities and their impacts upon lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+) citizens in four European countries (England, Germany, Portugal, Scotland). We are concerned with inequalities at key points of life transition, including school to work, employment progression in mid-life, and the transition into retirement and later life. Drawing upon interviews and secondary analysis, this policy brief reflects on the findings from the CILIA- LGBTQI+ research conducted in Scotland.

Portugal has made a remarkable progress in promoting the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) people since the turn of the century. However, the knowledge produced in social science on the experiences of LGBTQI+ people in Portugal demonstrate the shortcomings and challenges of the transition from legal rights to lived experience. This issue is built around the rights as they relate to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and sexual characteristics and to the experiences of LGBTQI+ people in Portugal, contextualized at the European and international level. The issue includes articles that, taken as a whole, provide domestic and international reader's critical knowledge about the LGBTQI+ community and lives in Portugal by the hand of some of the country's leading scholars in this area.

Building on recent work in postcolonial urban studies that has developed more genuinely plural approaches to urban theorising, this article poses the problem of 'worlding' in relation to urban LGBTQI+ activism in Sydney, Australia. Specifically, the article examines how Sydney is variously worlded as or against 'Asia' in public debate around LGBTQI+ politics and in the imaginaries of activists living in Sydney. These worldings are shown to be an important aspect of queer activisms and urbanisms in Sydney, and I argue that attention to this worlding can productively complement a renewed focus on place and specificity in queer urban literatures. While imagining Sydney or Australia as part of Asia is itself no guarantee of productive politics or of decentring epistemologies, the article argues that some of these worldings do provide an occasion and a provocation to think elsewhere and otherwise in ways that are responsive to the specific character of White Australia's colonial pasts and presents, while also generatively (dis)locating Sydney beyond the 'West'. ; publishedVersion ; Peer reviewed

Regardless of recent achievements of LGBTQI agenda such as recognition of same-sex marriage, Brazil is still pointed out as the world leading country in violence against LGBTQI population. In this perspective, an integrative review was performed in the databases EBSCO, Mendley, PubMed, and Scielo using the keywords 'LGBT', 'violence', 'homophobia', 'transphobia'. The search returned 112 articles of which 19 articles were included in this study after applying the excluding criteria. Articles included in the category Review of Education revealed that homophobia impacts negatively on school commitment many times leading LGBTQI students to quit school. Supportive teachers can have a positive effect to students who experience homophobic violence, therefore, gender and sexual diversity need to be included into bachelors of education or teaching training. The category legislation and policies pointed out that the judiciary power is responsible for some of the current achievements, the executive power has addressed some policies but these policies have been facing many barriers, and the legislative power is acting as one of these barriers mainly because of its religious front. The category Review of Sexuality Issues revealed that the transvestite population faces physical e verbal aggression constantly, and have poor networks of support, a situation that enhances vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. The articles of this category also pointed the need of more studies measuring intra-familiar homophobia, and intimate partner violence. The studies have also shown that Catholics, historical Protestants and Pentecostals a more likely to disapprove homosexuality when compared to religious nones and followers of Spiritist traditions, and LGBTQI people linked to African-Brazilian religions are more vulnerable to violence due to their faith and sexual orientation. Studies taking account of social markers, quantifying the violence, and measuring effectiveness of policies are some of the gaps that need to be addressed in future research.
