"Só tem bicha na cidade?": enquadramentos das narrativas LGBTQIA+ no jornalismo do G1

Abstract

This paper proposes to investigate the way in which LGBTQIA+ experiences are guided in the newsroom of the journalistic portal G1, in addition to understanding how Brazilian Journalism treats and frames these narratives between the years of 2014 to the beginning of 2022. Working with Queer Theory, the research intends to observe how the performativity of bodies is portrayed during the texts. In addition to working with Framing Theory, to understand how Journalists see and work with identities that are different from their own. From a search movement within the portal, a survey of news about the LGBTQIA+ community was carried out, which became an Excel spreadsheet available for future methodological movements. With this survey, 13 relevant events to the Community were categorized. The analysis of five news, representing five events, showed Journalism’s difficulty in framing experiences that escape the reality of an area of knowledge built from heteronormative ideals empathically. Thus, it is understood that journalism has the power to help reduce inequalities, but there is still a long way to go before the extinction of identity difference produced by heteronormativity.
