Abstract
This article analyses ways of storytelling teenagers’ murders by LGBTIphobia in Brazil. Narratives are understood as incomplete stories able to change and transmission, being a relevant strategy for research in Social Psychology. Thus, this research discussed Gay Group of Bahia’s annual reports about LGBTIphobic murder. The paper also analyses some narratives on a teenager’s murder case by LGBTIphobia (in São Paulo-Brazil in 2014). We concluded that gender, sexuality, and generation are categories politically controlled for life preservation or exposition to threatening. This shows a need for a broad concept of LGBTIphobia which gives account to collective and social responsibility on deaths.
