Resumo

Members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender, Transvestite, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, Non-binary (LGBTQIAPN+) movement continually report situations in which they are execrated, violated in various ways, marginalized by people who cannot live with diversity. Concomitant to this fact, these people are able to cope with this harsh reality, however, there is little literature regarding this way of being in the face of oppression and violence, which already characterizes the relevance of a project with this meaning. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand the process of facing and overcoming homophobic situations by members of the LGBTqiapn+ movement in Manaus, under the perspective of Martin Heidegger's phenomenology of these experiences with lesbian women. The research was carried out using a qualitative approach, with a descriptive and exploratory characteristic. The method used was phenomenological-psychological and data was obtained through audio-recorded phenomenological interviews that started from a guiding question and presented developments. 5 lesbian women collaborated in the research. Three categories of analysis with respective subcategories were identified: 1. Sexuality: temporalizing the trajectory; 2. The search for acceptance: the self-view and the gaze of others; 3. The various selves: self-care, self-understanding, self-recognition. At the end of the study, the diversity of their experiences related to confronting homophobia was learned, a topic that contributes to developing proposals for psychological support for people in the lesbian movement who are in a vulnerable situation resulting from violence.
