O racismo manifesto nos relacionamentos sexoafetivos inter-raciais entre homens gays

Abstract

This research analyzes the way racism manifests itself in interracial sex-affective relationships of gay men. This is an exploratory qualitative research that used a semi-structured interview for data collection. Data from the narratives were analyzed and divided into categories such as (I) objectification of the gay black body and colonized affections in interracial sex-affective relationships, (II) expressions of racism in interracial sex-affective relationships and mental health, and (III) Tactics of confronting racism in interracial sex-affective relationships. The results show that most of the interviewees pointed out that their bodies are seen 10 solely as an object of pleasure in the relationships they establish mainly in environments such as the internet and parties. This follows in a social construction that produces dysfunctional thoughts in black men in an oppressive space of virility, something that was reported in the experiences of the interviewees. Finally, theories built by black theorists were used to assess the discourse experienced by these black and gay men and the multiple violence they experience in sex-affective practices. It is hoped that this study can contribute to new horizons of knowledge for both gay, bisexual and pansexual black men, as well as for health professionals and people of all gender identities, race/color and sexualities.
