Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue explorar la relación entre la homonegatividad internalizada y los
factores protectores frente al estrés de minoría (soporte social, colectividad comunitaria y
acción colectiva) que provienen de las relaciones interpersonales en personas LGB de
Lima Metropolitana. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo, en el cual participaron dos
personas que se auto identifican como lesbianas, dos personas gais y tres personas
bisexuales. Como técnica de recolección de información, se utilizó la entrevista semi
estructurada. Los resultados mostraron que las relaciones interpersonales juegan un rol
crucial en el proceso de aceptación de la pertenencia a una minoría sexual. Sin embargo,
este proceso se ve obstaculizado en la mayoría de los casos por la internalización de
ideas heteronormativas que provienen de las mismas relaciones interpersonales que
posteriormente se convierten en un factor protector. Por lo tanto, se evidencia la
necesidad de explorar con mayor profundidad el rol de las relaciones interpersonales para
validar la experiencia de pertenencia a una minoría sexual.
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between internalized homonegativity and protective factors against minority stress (social support, community connectedness, collective action) that stem from interpersonal relationships in people with LGB identities. Using a qualitative approach, two lesbians, two gay and three bisexual people participated through semiunestructured interviews. Results showed that interpersonal relationships play a crucial role in the process of acceptance regarding the sexual minority identity. However, this process is hampered in most cases by the internalization of heteronormative ideas that come from the same interpersonal relationships that later become a protective factor. Therefore, there is a need to further explore the role of interpersonal relationships to validate the experience of belonging to a sexual minority.
