IMPACTS OF LGTBI+PHOBIA ON MERCOSUR

Abstract

On a planet dominated by the capitalist system, the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) plays an important role in the integration of LGBTI+ rights, given its main purpose of developing economic aspects. Thus, the present research aims to analyze the impacts of LGBTI+phobia, especially in MERCOSUR. The research has as methodology the hypothetical-deductive, documentary and bibliographic, exploratory and descriptive method, which starts from the hypothesis that LGBTI+phobia produces negative impacts on MERCOSUR, which, when going through this process of falsification of the hypothesis, will reach a conclusion valid. The study is justified in view of the need to reflect the impacts of the exclusion of LGBTI+, considering that although there is a range of human rights that included the protection of this population, it appears that exclusion by LGBTI+phobia is still present in culture of many countries, so that the social stigma influences the decisions, norms, laws and customs of the States. It is concluded that LGBTI+phobia in MERCOSUR causes impacts on violations of LGBTI+ human rights, internal rights of member countries and economic rights to MERCOSUR, and the violating country may even be suspended from activities in the bloc if there is a breach of democratic values, such as human rights.
