Flávia Piovesan, Juliana Cardoso join Puc-SP Puc debate on disinformation
PUC-SP will host puc “LGBTQIA+, Desinformação e Democracia” on May 15, Friday, at 9h in Auditório 117-A. The free public conference will bring together Flávia Piovesan, Juliana Cardoso, Carmo Dalla Vecchia and other speakers to discuss how disinformation affects LGBTQIA+ rights, citizenship and democracy.
The program is set for a room that organizers are opening without charge, a choice that places the event in front of students, lawyers and members of the public at the same time. The conference is promoted by the Comissão da Diversidade Sexual do Sindicato dos Advogados e Advogadas do Estado de São Paulo and the Centro Acadêmico 22 de Agosto, with support from PUC-SP.

The conference centers on the impact of disinformation on Brazilian democracy, especially when false narratives target the LGBTQIA+ population. Organizers say the debate also aims to strengthen a more plural, safe and democratic society based on respect for differences and confrontation of intolerance.
That framing places the event in a setting marked by the advance of disinformation, hate speech and social polarization. The source also says the LGBTQIA+ population is historically affected by stigma, symbolic violence and attacks on citizenship, which gives the discussion a legal and civic focus rather than a purely academic one.
Flávia Piovesan and Juliana Cardoso
Flávia Piovesan, Alfredo Attié Junior, Juliana Cardoso, Marcelo Brito Guimarães, Carmo Dalla Vecchia, Eduardo Piza and Adrielli de Barca Coelho are listed as participants. Piovesan is identified as a professora e jurista, Attié Junior as a desembargador and president of the Academia Paulista de Direito, and Cardoso as a federal deputy.
Carmo Dalla Vecchia enters the program as an actor and LGBTQIA+ activist, giving the conference a public-facing voice alongside the legal panel. Marcelo Brito Guimarães, Eduardo Piza and Adrielli de Barca Coelho all hold roles in the Comissão da Diversidade Sexual do SASP, which is one of the groups promoting the event.

The conference is free and open to the public, and it is built around a discussion of disinformation, LGBTQIA+ rights and democracy rather than a closed academic panel.
