Te odiamos em nome de Deus: regularidades discursivas LGBTfóbicas por líderes cristãos midiáticos

Abstract

The present dissertation was conceived based on the presupposition that the discourses of prominent christian leaders, when referring to subjects of the LGBTQIAPN+ community, contain hateful content and discursive regularities, which can be classified and analyzed. To this end, three prominent christian leaders were selected, all with significant media influence and founders of their own religious denominations. All videos published by them, over the course of one year, on their personal YouTube profiles were subjected to a script that transcribes their audio and conducts a search for keywords widely associated with anti-LGBT discourse. With the presupposition proving true, the sentences in which such words were found were meticulously analyzed using french discourse analysis and categorized, arriving at three classifications: the pathologization of dissident sexualities, the amalgamation of evils, and the discourse of false acceptance. From this, it was possible to verify the presence of hateful content and discursive regularities in the speeches of religious leaders, whose aim is the imposition and maintenance of an identity of gender and sexuality defined as correct by the christianity over the centuries.
