Abstract

This essay discusses some issues related to homophobia in football. To this was discussed through off icial documents and literature of the difficulties and challenges in the fight against homophobia in Brazil.

As a form of analysis came from two authors of the social sciences: Durkheim's concept of anomie, which of fers an explanation of why the repression of different (idea of the sacred and profane), and Habermas with the idea of civil society as a construction of mechanisms to fight for a transformation of reality and possibility of dialogue.
