Violencia hacia bisexuales, lesbianas y homosexuales de la Ciudad de México

Abstract

THE FUNDAMENTAL PREMISE OF THIS ARTICLE IS THAT THE VIOLENCE EXPERIENCED BY BISEXUALS, LESBIANS AND HOMOSEXUALS (BLH) MAY BE THE PRODUCT OF THE GENDER SYSTEM, FROM WHICH THREE DOMINANT IDEOLOGIES ARE DERIVED: ADHERENCE TO GENDER STEREOTYPES, ANDROCENTRISM AND HETEROSEXISM. TO EXPLORE THIS HYPOTHESIS, THE AUTHORS INTERVIEWED 506 BLH IN MEXICO CITY. THEIR FINDINGS SHOWED THAT THE HOMOSEXUAL AND BISEXUAL MEN INTERVIEWED WERE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE MORE OFTEN THAN THE BISEXUAL AND LESBIAN WOMEN SURVEYED.
