Abstract

The health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite / Transgender, Queer, Intersexual and more (LGBTQI +) is a subject that has been discussed over the years by public agencies, but with little effective force. Making it possible to note the still present cases of discrimination and prejudice in society, especially in the sphere of health. The present study evaluated the presence of discrimination and invisibility of the LGBTQI population in the municipal public health services, using the perception of professionals of the area and users of these services. It used a qualitative and descriptive approach, characterizing a field research when using semistructured interviews to collect data and later carried out a content analysis of this information obtained. Thus exposing the strong presence of the evaluated factors and measuring the consequences of the same to the quality of life and health promotion of this population. This fact, it becomes fundamental to construct the perspective inherent to these professionals about their performance, understood in several layers. Likewise, it is necessary to dimension and explain the experiences of the LGBTQI + population regarding the health services provided. The promotion and guarantee of health related rights for this community, presents several flaws. The need for a transformation in the conduct of these professionals and an improvement as their practices became urgent. There is a real shortage in terms of a far-reaching equitable public policy in society that really has effect in order to give everyone access to their basic rights..
