Sob a sombra do arco-íris: a marginalização de pessoas negras na conquista de direitos LGBTTI+ nos Estados Unidos da América

Abstract

Black people are at the forefront of the struggle for LGBTTI+ rights, but remain invisible among these achievements or excluded from their benefits. In this context, this article intends to verify the systematic marginalization of black people in the pursuit of LGBTTI+ rights in the United States of America. To this end, the ideas of Patricia Hill Collins will be used as a theoretical basis, especially those developed in her work in collaboration with Sirma Bilge, called Intersectionality. Based on a historical overview of the LGBTTI+ movement and using intersectionality as a tool of analysis, the aim is to demonstrate how the social constructions that contribute to the above-mentioned marginalization take place and what are some of their consequences.
