Abstract

This article aims to understand how the movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and the Federal Government has sought to overcome this scenario homophobic violence in Brazil. From a qualitative approach, we focused our analysis on three levels: 1 - Demands of the LGBT Movement in the context of public security. 2 - Government Replies to those needs and 3 - materialization of public security policies for LGBT. The “Summary Report of the First National Seminar Proposals for Public Security and Combating Homophobia”, the “I National Plan LGBT” and “Text Base of 2nd National LGBT Conference”: The following documents were analyzed. The findings point to difficulties in implementing these policies in the light of complex factors.
