Abstract

This article aims at analyzing data on lethal violence in Brazil against the sex-diverse population, within the last 5 years, based on reports by the Gay Group of Bahia (Grupo Gay da Bahia – GGB) and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). Elucidation and clarification on the concepts of homophobia, heterosexism, and heteronormativity are means that we have to grasp the LGBTIphobic violence observed in contemporary society. The results indicate that, in order to cope with violence, public policy must be made as a means to overcome such a reality.
