Violencia homo-lesbo-transfóbica a nivel familiar y COVID-19 en Uruguay

Abstract

This article is intended to reflect on the prevalence of homo-lesbian-transphobic violence situations in family contexts, comprising teenagers and young adults who have identified themselves as LGBT, in the face of the current health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Uruguay. The clinical experience generated by the implementation of a specific COVID-19 university psychological service for LGBT residents in Uruguay, confirms the hypothesis that carrying out quarantine in a hostile context to sex-generic diversity constitutes a risk factor for the overall health of LGBT teenagers and young adults.
