Abstract
The Resolution n. 01/99 of the Federal Council of Psychology (CFP) – which prohibits the pathologization of homosexuality – completed twenty years of existence in 2019, through a trajectory marked by conflicts, attacks and resistances. It is the most attacked resolution in the history of the CFP, as well as the resolution that most mobilizes groups and movements in its defense. The attacks were carried out by groups that are contrary to the policies of sexual and gender diversity and linked to a Christian conservatism that re-articulates itself in important political-institutional spaces in Brazil. Thus, this article aims to analyze the history of Resolution n. 01/99 from its proposition to the present day, basically covering the period from 1998 to 2019. Based on a documentary survey and an analytical-discursive perspective, we seek to describe the events, conflicts and meanings produced in its surroundings, also drawing some points of analysis on its social and political-institutional reverberations. The article was divided in two parts; the first one deals with the history of the Resolution n. 01/99 in the scope of the policies of sexual and gender diversity in the System of Councils of Psychology; and the second works on the conflicts that have permeated the resolution in the last 20 years.
