Sexualidade e trabalho: Estudo sobre a discriminação de homossexuais masculinos no setor bancário

Abstract

This article analyzes the possible forms of discrimination against gay employees of public and private banks. Initially we discuss the basic concepts related to studies on discrimination in general and the relationship of these concepts with the discrimination of homosexuals. In regard to the type of research methodology is qualitative, using a script of semi-structured interview for data collection. We interviewed ten works, employees of two federal public banks and a private bank with capital entirely national. For the analysis of data was used the analysis of discourse developed by Michel Foucault. It is concluded that the respondents are targets of direct and indirect discrimination on grounds of their sexuality. Discrimination manifests itself directly in the deficiency of normative public banks studied to ensure and clarify the real rights of workers who have homosexual marriages homoafetivos as well as the complete lack of rules that establish rights for homosexuals in private bank. However, the question that most interviewees are uncomfortable is the indirect discrimination expressed in the workplace.
