Qual o nosso lugar? Nosso lugar é todo lugar!: sobre o direito à saúde enquanto população LGBTTTQI+ em Campina Grande-PB.

Abstract

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.
