EXPRESSÕES RELIGIOSAS CONFESSIONAIS COMO MANIFESTAÇÃO DE ÓDIO CONTRA MINORIAS SEXUAIS NO ESTADO DEMOCRÁTICO DE DIREITO

Abstract

This work deals with the confessional religious discourse analyzed from the perspective of hate speech against sexual minorities in a democratic State of law, from which it was sought, through the manifestation of freedom of religion as a fundamental right, to expose the importance of guaranteeing the its exercise in society, distinguishing this exercise from hate speech, specifically in relation to homosexuality. This study aimed to analyze religious freedom as a fundamental right and its importance in the development of human beings and society, in addition to tolerance and respect for other modes of community conception, such as LGBTQI +, realizing the difference in hate speech in that concerns sexual minorities in the face of confessional positions. The violence suffered by minorities, whether ethnic, religious, national or sexual, tends to take different forms, with identification and restraint being fundamental, so that the right to non-discrimination, a basic prerogative within the scope of the contemporary democratic state, don't just be a formal guarantee. Among the different contours that violence can take, the hate speech stands out, a form of aggression against minorities that goes largely unnoticed, since it does not involve an evident attack on the individual's physical integrity. Although notorious, hate speech is extremely harmful, since it has mechanisms capable of spreading a culture of social exclusion and marginalization of minorities, contributing to the perpetuation of inequalities and the violation of rights. Among the minorities that suffer most today due to hate speech, sexual minorities stand out, subjected to this form of violence worldwide, to a lesser or greater extent. It is in this context that the present study is inserted, which deals with the limits to freedom of expression, in Brazil, in view of the hate speech against this part of the community. To this end, the collection of data for this work, with respect to state interference and secular state, concomitant with the rights of religious freedom and sexual freedom, took place through research in books, theses, magazines, monographs, public data, newspapers, advertisements, jurisprudence, sentences, laws, draft laws, mainly in Brazilian legislation and in the Holy Bible.
