O direito ao trabalho digno da população gay brasileira e a justiça do trabalho: uma análise da discriminação por orientação sexual nas relações de emprego no Brasil e a direito á indenização

Abstract

The right to dignified work for the Brazilian gay population and the role of the Labor Court are highly relevant topics when it comes to discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment relationships in Brazil, as well as the right to compensation for discriminated workers. Discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace is a reality faced by many gay workers in Brazil. This discrimination can result in not only professional harm but also emotional and psychological distress for individuals. Due to the possibility of seeking compensation for wrongful acts, it is conceivable for the discriminated worker to pursue moral compensation due to discrimination based on sexual orientation. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the possibility of compensation for discriminated workers based on their sexual orientation within the scope of the Labor Court. The methodology adopted was exploratory, based on the collection of bibliographic data, taking into consideration doctrines, legislation, articles, case law, among others, to enrich the academic debate on the subject.
