| Sumario: | The LGBT population (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite and Transsexual), since it does not fi the heteronormative patterns, ends up receiving a pejorative and exclusive treatment, which limits access to health services. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the National Policy on Comprehensive Health for LGBT Population (PNAIPLGBT) in basic health care and to understand the knowledge of nurses in the Family Health Strategy regarding sexual diversity and homophobia. This is a descriptive, exploratory study of a qualitative nature. Participants report absence or limitation of knowledge about PNAIPLGBT. Thus, the lack of knowledge about the LGBT public and the lack of preparation of health professionals to welcome the public in question results in the limitation of LGBT population access to health services, which directly affects the implementation of the National Policy of Comprehensive Attention to Population LGBT. |
