Aproximações entre o discurso de pastores midiáticos no combate aos direitos humanos LGBT e as estratégias de funcionamento das políticas fascistas

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the possible similarities between the discourse of media pastors Silas Malafaia and Marco Feliciano in the fight against LGBT Human Rights and the working strategies of fascist policies. To fullfil this purpose, we discussed about the trajectory of LGBT Human Rights at the UN, in order to present its definition and enable the understanding of the object which the discourse of media pastors seeks to combat and annihilate. We argued about the process of depathologizing homosexuality and its decriminalization as fundamental to the achievement and maintenance of LGBT Human Rights. We examined the conservative religious movement in Brazilian politics as a way to better support our analyses. Finally, we presented a discussion, while we elaborate our analysis, about the similarities of the pastors' discourse with the working strategies of fascist policies. The interest in the subject was due to the directions taken in recent years by national politics, where the conservative discourse of religious bias has played a role of notable influence, especially during the 2018 presidential election in Brazil, and the need to analyze the subject under a scientific approach, in order to contribute to the strengthening of the guarantee of Human Rights. This is a descriptive-qualitative research conducted by Content Analysis. The analyzes were supported by authors such as Stanley (2018), Konder (2009), Klemperer (2009), Kershaw (2008), Baczko (1985), Lacerda (2019), Bobbio (1990), Silva (2019-2021), among others that dialogue with the theme. As the object of study, we had the speeches of the mentioned pastors collected from different sources in the virtual environment, such as: social networks, online magazines, news sites, among others. During the research, it was possible to confirm the existence of similarities between the discourse of the pastors and the working strategies of fascist policies.
