Resumen
El ser humano pasa por procesos de autodescubrimiento en diferentes áreas de su vida, desde donde se permite a sí mismo explorar y descubrir aquellas características que se constituyen como propias. En ese sentido, uno de los propósitos de vida es poder descubrir aquello que le da sentido a su propia existencia, incluyendo aspectos relativos a la sexualidad y a las experiencias sexo afectivas.
En este sentido, la diversidad sexual se presenta como una opción de vida para las personas, cuya practicas sexuales, vínculos afectivos e identidades se desmarcan de las normas heteronormativas constituidas históricamente como hegemónicas. Razón por la cual, reflexionar alrededor de la diversidad sexual en distintos contextos incluyendo la academia y la educación superior se presenta como un desafío por los prejuicios y estigmas asociados.
Las situaciones que más se evidencian a nivel social son: la discriminación y la homofobia, cuyos causantes podrían ser la presión social, las diferentes normas morales y corrientes religiosas, las cuales ejercen un gran poder ante la sociedad, provocando que algunas personas oculten su verdadera orientación sexual, por el temor a ser rechazados (Muñoz, Basurdo & Vega, 2014; Ardila, 1998).
No obstante, los movimientos lgbtiq+ con sus luchas han logrado a través del tiempo una variedad de conquistas en termino de derechos humanos y un mayor reconocimiento y visibilidad en alguna de nuestras sociedades occidentales.
Frente al proceso de autodescubrimiento y autoconocimiento de la orientación sexual, este trabajo se propone abordarlo desde una perspectiva que incluya la participación de personas que se identifican como parte de la población lgbtiq+, por tanto, se propone la siguiente pregunta problema:
¿Cómo es el proceso de autodescubrimiento de la orientación sexual diversa en estudiantes universitarios entre los 19 y 22 años de la ciudad de Barranquilla?
Human beings undergo processes of self-discovery in various areas of their lives, allowing them to explore and identify characteristics that define their identity. One of the purposes of life is to discover what gives meaning to one's existence, including aspects related to sexuality and sexual-affective experiences. In this sense, sexual diversity presents itself as a life option for people whose sexual practices, affective bonds, and identities deviate from historically hegemonic heteronormative norms. Therefore, reflecting on sexual diversity in different contexts, including academia and higher education, poses a challenge due to the associated prejudices and stigmas. The most evident social issues are discrimination and homophobia, which may be caused by social pressure, various moral norms, and religious currents, exerting significant power over society and causing some individuals to hide their true sexual orientation for fear of rejection (Muñoz, Basurdo & Vega, 2014; Ardila, 1998). However, the LGBTQ+ movements, through their struggles, have achieved various human rights victories and greater recognition and visibility in some of our Western societies over time. Regarding the process of self-discovery and self-awareness of sexual orientation, this work aims to address it from a perspective that includes the participation of people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ population. Therefore, the following research question is proposed: How is the process of self-discovery of diverse sexual orientation in university students aged 19 to 22 in the city of Barranquilla?
