Abstract:
This article´s objective is to identify the obstacles faced by LGBT people in the exercise of parenting. We used the biographical method, from an intersectional approach, in a dialogical and recursive investigative process. Nine interviews were conducted with key informants from academia, psychotherapy, politics, and activism. We found obstacles at symbolic, institutional, and factual levels, which (re)produced and influence each other. We conclude obstacles related to the exercise of motherhood/fatherhood from LGBT people generates emotional self-limitations associated with the (im)possibility of thinking themselves as a potential mother/father based on the hostile social context they face.
Keywords:
