Abstract

The contemporary Social Service has in its professional project the prospect of training social workers committed to the fight against all kinds of prejudice and discrimination. However, the future social workers professional training process is impregnated with oppressions reproduced in society as a whole. The neoconservatism is presented as an ideological way, alienating, which reproduces prejudices and ends up promoting all forms of violence in socially discriminated subjects, such as the LGBT community.Under this perspective, this paper analyzes Federal University of Campina Grande Social Service students’ concepts on issues surrounding the discussion on sexual diversity. With this dimension, we appropriated the historical and dialectical materialism contributions to reference our analysis. For the data production was performed a literature and field research, through questionnaires use with direct, and hypothetical situations presentation, involving the social worker job in order to allow the seizure of the students positioning in relation to homosexuality, adoption by homosexual couples and job as a social worker with the LGBT public. In the study we identified a LGBT-Phobia framework presence directly related to the religious conservatism. Thus, we conclude that it is on neoconservatism ground that Social Service moves nowadays, and we point out as essential to the professional profile that the course aims to form this theme deepening in the training process.
