FAMÍLIA, HOMOSSEXUALIDADE E CONSERVADORISMO: discursos no Congresso Nacional brasileiro

Abstract

This article analyses discourses that pass through bills of law on the National Congress, proposing the regulation of civil/marriage union/partnership between people of the same sex, aiming to identify the characteristics assumed by those discourses. Documental research evolving seven bills of law that were issued between 1995-2013. Their pleads have expressed mostly the denial of totality of social life, hiding social, economic, political and cultural determinations originated from capitalism, that affect families, and attributing to homoparental families the “blame” for a supposed “crisis” or “restructuring” of families. They’ve defended a concept of patriarchal family, justified by the desire of procreation, conceived as natural and constituted only of men and women
