YANG, Jinfang  e  INIGUEZ-RUEDA, Lupicinio. Homosexuality in the psychology of Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.2, pp. 109-135. ISSN 2238-152X.

The objective of the article is to identify the characteristics of homosexuality constructed by the psychological science of Latin America, Spain and Portugal. We conducted a Content Analysis and an Argumentative Analysis of 420 scientific articles published in those regions. The results show that the psychology of these regions has built a) a pathologized, vulnerable and victimized population and sexuality; b) a risky and sexualized male population, and an invisible female population; c) a population partially included in the rights but sociocultural and generally excluded; d) a "disabled" and painful population and sexuality, and; e) the binary dichotomy of sex / gender. With this work we problematize the constituted homosexuality through scientific practices, understanding that they are capable of creating realities. As a discussion, we propose that scientific discourses can go from the discourses which define the sexual norms to the discourses of resistance.

Palavras-chave : homosexuality; lesbianism; scientific discourse; content analysis; argumentative analysis.
