This paper discusses the parliamentary debates that took place in Brazil between 2006 and 2012 on the proposal to criminalize homophobia, brought to the agenda by bill PLC 122/2006. Using discourse analysis from Michel Foucault's perspective, the author seeks to understand how these discursive battles reflect profound power games and trigger different statements, with a preponderance of supposedly scientific discourses, although religious discourse is at the center of these analyses. The Federal Legislature is taken here not only from its strictly political function, but as a stage where archaic views of society are legitimized. The prejudice present in these practices is analyzed, for example, by the hypotheses that the author raises about a "state racism" present in certain parliamentary practices of our Federal Legislature. At a time when religious fundamentalism and politics are intertwined in public-political spaces in Brazil, this book arrives at a very opportune moment.
