Resumo:
This paper discusses the lack of effective public policies for the health of the LGBTTQI+
population in Campina Grande-PB, also questioning the lack of academic production about
the subject. It assumes the theoretical perspective from the queer theory, from the
contributions of Buttler (2003) to understand the demand for plurality of gender identities and
sexual orientations that have historically been invisibilized and marginalized, combined with
the Joan Scott‟s (1995) poststructuralist gender comprehension, where the last one is
constructed from the differentiation between the sexes that establish relations of power over
time. Being the gender comprehended as one of the Social Determinants of Health - as well as
race/ethnicity and class - because they are structurants in the access to resources, among
which is the access to the Unified Health System (SUS) according to its guidelines: equity,
universality and integrity. It also presents a brief history of the achievements for the
LGBTTTQI+ population at the state scope, perceiving the applicability of public policies that
have existed for less than a decade, with the objective of identifying the public policies at the
state level that are attending to these subjects, at the local level, the health actions promoted
by the Municipal Government of Campina Grande-PB which guarantee access and inclusion
in an adequate way for this population, noticing the lack of these and the initiatives, as well as
the difficulties in their execution.
