Abstract

Lesbophobia is understood as an expression of hate and rejection towards lesbian existence. More than episodic or casual situations, it is about the normalization of these expressions throughout the vital development of lesbians, which affects girls and women, exposing them to harmful consequences for the development of their public and private life. Based on the narrative production, from the life stories of twenty-six lesbians, this article presents a conceptualization of the harmful effects of lesbophobia and the identification of overcoming strategies lesbians found by themselves to reaffirm their existence.
