Abstract

JESUS, Jaqueline Gomes de. Momentary joy: lesbians, gays, bisexuals, travestites and transsexuals pride parades. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.1, pp.54-70. ISSN 1983-8220.

Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Travestites and Transsexuals (LGBT) pride parades are events of visibility to this population. Originated in the United States as marches of complaint due to the violence against homosexuals, in Brazil these parades became manifestations with carnival-like characteristics. The present study investigated the parades through the views of their participants. One hundred and eighty three (183) instruments evoking the term "parade" were applied to people attending the parades in Brasília (n=123) and Goiânia (n=60). The data were analyzed by means of the software EVOC. It was noticed that the more evoked terms were "joy" (F=46, RM=1,978), "diversity" (F=25, RM=2,360) and "freedom" (F=85, RM=2,412). The conclusion was that participants understand parades as propitious moments for free expression of affections.
