Abstract:

This article approaches the phenomenon of violence in the affective-sexual trajectories of young cisgenders gay men,popular strata in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Brazilian’s literature on violence against gay men, generally, focuses on the discrimination suffered by this population, but the violence they suffer in family relationships due to their sexual orientation, or even in their relationships known as “dating” or “hook up”, is hardly dicussed. In order to discuss the presence of violence during the young gay men\'s affective-sexual trajectory, this qualitative study conducted in-depth interviews based on a semi-structured script. The results showed that there are multiple faces of violence that occur during childhood and adolescence in family relationships, spanning their affective-sexual relationships in adolescence and youth, including sexual, physical, psychological and institutional violence, which happen both “inside” and “outside” home. Support networks are limited, for example, to a few friends and access to blogs on the internet. No health professional was cited as a source of help. There is a need to discuss the prevention of violence and health promotion of this social group, expanding the look at the various contemporary ways of relating intimately.
