Summary
The right to homosexual relationships, expressed in affective feelings and sexuality, must be demanded, and, to gain social support, there must be delivered visibility to provide rights in healthcare, job, education, and human dignity. The limitations on social support for homosexuals begin with the lack of family support. This has its roots in the construction of the family founded on patriarchy, with the perpetuation of the heteronormative model in family relationships. It is considered that the difficulties of acceptance and the process of “coming out” are associated with the context of repression of the family by means of physical, psychological and moral aggressions, in order to“correct the behavior deviation”; homophobic family relationships impact the adolescent’s physical and psychological health, and in some cases, lead to the suicide of young male homosexuals[4]
