Serial title, monograph or event: | Healthcare | Volume: | 10 | Issue: | 1 | Place of publication or event: | Basel | Abstract: | This work analyses experiences of LGBTQ+ people accessing healthcare in Portugal. A total of 32 semi-structured interviews were conducted with queer adults (18-59 years old). The thematic analysis and thematic networks brought to light how structural cis-heteronorms are compliant with the maintenance of invisibility regarding sexual and gender diversity. As a consequence, experiences of direct and indirect discrimination show us how crucial it is to have well prepared healthcare providers, capable of embracing diversity and creating safe spaces that allow us to shorten the path between Portugal's progressive legal frame and the people lived experiences. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/100164 | ISSN: | 2227-9032 | DOI: | 10.3390/healthcare10010146 | Rights: | openAccess |
