A homossexualidade é um fenómeno de abrangência universal, sem se limitar a um tempo ou território em particular. Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer um perfil da presença da população homossexual no Brasil e na China comparativamente. No âmbito da dimensão histórica, a existência de população homossexual torna-se patente sempre que a sociedade permite maior liberdade de expressão, tanto no Brasil quanto na China. É de ressaltar que, o movimento homossexual se desenvolveu em circunstâncias adversas em ambos os países, na medida em que alguns aspetos, particularmente a religião no Brasil, afetam as atitudes do povo brasileiro em relação às pessoas homossexuais, provocando várias ocorrências homofóbicas. Já na China, a ideologia de raiz histórica confuciana ("Piedade Filial", "Cortesia" e "Moderação") ganha mais terreno na vida do povo chinês, sendo um elemento contrário à presença pública da homossexualidade entre chineses. Para além de uma breve reflexão sobre a produção discursiva dos autores profissionais referente a esta área, este trabalho tem ainda o objetivo de analisar outro fator, nomeadamente os meios de comunicação que, nestes dois países, fazem com que a homossexualidade seja menos sujeita a discriminação do que antes. Este trabalho, de âmbito comparativo, mostra que, se bem que os dois países sejam muito distintos, é semelhante a persistência das pessoas homossexuais em fazer ouvir as suas vozes e o seu desejo de plena participação na vida social.
Homosexuality is a phenomenon of universal scope and is not limited to a particular period of time nor a determined territory. This dissertation aims to conduct a comparative study of the homosexual population in Brazil and China. From a historical dimension, the existence of homosexual population has become evident whenever society allows greater freedom of expression, both in Brazil and China. It is important to emphasise that the homosexual movement in both countries developed under unfavourable circumstances, as certain aspects, particularly religion in Brazil, affect the attitudes of the Brazilian people towards homosexuals, leading to several homophobic occurrences. In China, on the other hand, the ideology of the historical Confucian roots ("Filial Piety", "Courtesy" and "Moderation") gains more ground in the lives of Chinese people, and has become an element against the public presence of homosexuality among Chinese. In addition to a brief reflection on the discursive production of professional authors concerning this area, this work also aims to analyse another factor, namely the media that, in these two countries, has made homosexuality less subject to discrimination than before. This comparative work shows that, although the two countries are very different in many aspects, there are similarities in term of the homosexual people making their voices heard and their desire for full participation in social life.
