SUMMARY:

The World Health Organization (WHO), in presenting its latest report, declares that every forty seconds a person loses their life due to suicide and, in this perspective, approximately 700,000 are victims every year. Those who turn to specialized literature to understand more about the phenomenon, with regard to aspects such as sexuality and gender, particularly when it comes to people belonging to the LGBTQIAP+ community, often find nascent discussions and inconsistent epidemiological data regarding suicidal behavior. Starting from this problem, this research aimed to analyze associations between sexual and gender minorities and the occurrence of suicidal behaviors, based on the influence of discursive practices of subjugation that manifest through dimensions of the socioeconomic and socio-affective context. To this end, the efforts of this research specifically focused on identifying how the aforementioned dimensions subvert or denote biopower devices, which influence the production of heteronormativity and cisnormativity and, consequently, the occurrence of precipitating factors for suicidal behavior. To this end, a documentary analysis was undertaken on Brazilian legislation, maps, and dossiers, using content analysis based on the methodology proposed by Bardin. Among the results obtained, it is possible to ensure that the LGBT+ population has to deal with learned helplessness, dehumanization, and derealization, which are subjectively linked to the formation of suicidal behavior in these groups. This process of life precarization is catalyzed by the heteronormativity and cisnormativity present in relationships and the organization of State or government policies. Despite this, many achievements have been made in Brazil and around the world, made possible thanks to the construction of public policies aimed at the population, with the direct participation of civil society in designing strategies and shaping spaces. However, conditions are still precarious for the population, as other transit spaces are not yet safeguarded, especially for young people, adults, and the elderly, who are victims in environments such as schools, the job market, or at crucial moments in life, such as retirement. Vulnerable conditions are also associated with the emergence of suicidal behavior.
