Abstract

Contextualization: The study focuses on the decisions of the Constitutional Courts of Brazil, when discussing homophobia and transphobia and their assimilation to the crime of racism, and, in Kenya, when discussing the penalization of homosexual relations (anti-sodomy law), since both, when passing through legal guidelines involving individual liberties, decided in an absolutely divergent way, however, referencing precedents and judicial decisions of foreign Courts. The present research is justified mainly for two reasons: the progressive increase in the use of the transnational “judicial dialogue” strategy between national Courts and the evaluation of the rhetorical meanings of this strategy for the reasoning of judicial decisions.

Objective: This article aims to analyze the premises of the strategy called “judicial dialogue” transnational, in the context of Constitutional Courts inserted in the notion of the Global South, focusing on the legal treatment of homophobia and the penalization of homosexuality.

Methodology: For the development of this research, the inductive method was used, operationalized by the operational concept techniques, bibliographic research and jurisprudential analysis.

Results: As a result, the transnational judicial dialogue strategy must consider that individual identity and values often depend on how individual community members consider and value an individual personality. On the other hand, it is not recommended to enclose the Constitutional Courts for their namesakes or to disregard decisions produced abroad, as it would open a path of mismatch between local and global realities, whose effect would affect, among others, the protective system of Human Rights.
