Um estudo sobre a orientação sexual, identidade de gênero e LGBTfobia junto aos estudantes da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná - Câmpus Cornélio Procópio

Abstract

The struggle of movements related to LGBTQIA + groups has always been very important for a democratic state of law and, at this moment when there is an evident polarization in society in several aspects, this dualism ends up exposing itself as minorities. In this sense, deepening the scientific understanding of these exclusionary processes can be of great value. This work has the general objective of estimating the proportion of students regarding their sexual orientation as well as applying a scale of manifestation of homophobia and using it with students from the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Câmpus Cornélio Procópio. The methods for validating the questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha) as well as confidence intervals for the proportion and Chi-square test were reviewed. From the results obtained in this work, it can be estimated that 23% to 35% of students on campus are not heterosexual, the majority being women. It was also observed that in most non-heterosexuals, parents are unaware of their sexual orientation, participate in collectives and proportionally do more psychological monitoring when compared to heterosexuals. Finally, there is a need for awareness campaigns in search of empathy regarding these issues in the sense of achieving equality among all people, regardless of creed, race, sexual orientation, among others, especially in the academic environment of professional training.
