Abstract: In this recent work, research was conducted with a focus on gathering narratives from young adults
about their personal, social, and professional experiences. The sociocultural issues of exclusion,
violence, and the invisibility of homosexuality were addressed. Through these testimonies, the aim
was to reflect on the importance of considering individuals in terms of their dignity, setting aside social
biases and stereotypes to preserve the integrity of each person, following the approach proposed by
Nussbaum in 2000. The primary goal of this study was to comprehend the meanings and impacts of
homosexuality on professionals. To carry out this research, a qualitative approach with a
phenomenological design was employed to explore the meanings and experiences of 15 homosexual
participants who were experiencing anxiety and depressive disorders. These disorders appeared to have
various roots, including family or social issues. |
