Abstract

This article, which problematizes recreational LGBTI+phobia and its consequences, aims to discuss how, under the guise of play, recreational LGBTI+phobia reveals prejudices and violence directed at dissident sex-gender bodies. To this end, it uses a qualitative methodology, which interrelates bibliographical research with life narratives, using autobiographical accounts as the corpus of analysis. Based on an anti-colonial and anti-gbti+phobic bias, the discussion shows that the basis of recreational LGBTI+phobia lies in a set of social and gender oppressions, which express multiple forms of violence related to sexual and gender prejudice under the guise of “joking”, “harmless humor”, just as recreational LGBTI+phobia generally appropriates spaces of affection to instill and reproduce violence against the LGBTI+ community.
