Urban Space, Sociability Networks and LGBTI+ Health Policies from the perspective of the National Health Survey - PNS 2019

Abstract

When we take a closer look at the urban space, we see that its multiplicity of arrangements and possibilities reflect the groups that pass through it and not only are constituted from them but also interfere in these subjects, in a mutual relationship. In this sense, when thinking about LGBTI+ subjects, we perceive a diverse group formed by identities that together form the so-called sexual minorities or dissident sexualities. About these subjects, it is possible to perceive that they use the urban space and its structure to form support and sociability networks and, in some cases, delimit territorialities and spaces of coexistence. From the unpublished and recently published data of the National Health Survey - PNS 2019, it is possible to verify some points related to this public and this article aims, from that, to verify some aspects related to the health of LGBTI+ people and to infer about how the space urban environment can interfere and be appropriate for carrying out programs aimed at the health of this population.
