Abstract
This article had as its aim to investigate the ambiguity related to the (in) visibility of female homoparental experiences in the Brazilian scenario, since situations in which prejudice is revealed with cruelty are accompanied by circumstances in which women have overcome discrimination assuming their affective-sexual orientations and their project of being mothers. We interviewed four women who assume themselves as lesbians and have children. Open interviews were used as a tool to collect data. The interview analysis identified that the female homoeroticism lives a paradoxical moment in relation to the human rights of LGBT population: at the same time as the indexes of violence that these subjects have to face significantly increase – revealing the desire to make the family, marital and sexual diversities invisible –, several achievements are met and a fuzzy public debate regarding the different ways of loving and existing is happening.
