Abstract

ABSTRACT: According to data from 2019 presented by the Gay Group of Bahia (GGB) and the digital periodical collection “Homotransfobia mata”, every 26 hours an LGBT + person dies in Brazil by suicide or homicide, the result of structural homotransphobia existing in the country. Before this scenario of human and legal negligence on the part of the State towards the lives and existence of this population, in addition to the exclusion, by MEC, of ​​issues related to gender and sexual orientation/diversity in the Common National Curricular Base (2017), this study intends to systematize, comparatively and based on an approach more specifically on the broad report released in 2019, the data contained in the reports published from 2011 to 2019, which map the violent deaths of LGBT + raised by the partnership between the GGB (chaired by Luiz Mott), Eduardo Michels (author of the research) and collaborators. From this, it is possible to create a panel of homophobia and transphobia over the last decade in Brazil, observing the rates of murders and suicides, as well as the numbers of cases by region, color/race, age, profession and cause mortis. The starting point is Article 5 of the 1988 Constitution regarding equality, the absence of distinction and the inviolability of rights, in addition to the criminalization by LGBTphobia in 2019 by the Federal Supreme Court, aiming to ensure, in a more incisive way, the minimum humanitarian with regard to the protection of a historically and culturally vulnerable and stigmatized group. That said, it is appropriate, among other measures, to raise awareness among brazilians about human rights, encourage the reporting of crimes against sexual minorities and their effective investigation, elucidation and punishment, in addition to promotion, at school, debates on gender and sexual orientation/diversity and opening more formal jobs for LGBT+.

KEYWORDS: Suicides, sexual minorities, LGBTphobia panel.
