SUMMARY:

The right to health of the LGBTI+ population entered the Brazilian political agenda from the construction of tensions guided by social activists, especially in the 1980s and 1990s during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. One of the advances in this agenda was the enactment of the National Policy on Comprehensive Health for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals, in 2011, considered an important milestone in the struggle for recognition and for the right to health. The histography of social activism reveals the elaborations and contributions in the construction of public policies and in other political processes by social movements. Still, there are materials on the history of LGBTI+ activism in the Brazilian Northeast is still scarce. Understanding the articulation of the right to health agenda throughout the history of this movement, although undertaken by some authors, suggests further deepening. The discrimination and violence to which LGBTI+ people are exposed on a daily basis, including in health services, reveal the need for changes in health care and assistance practices. Faced with these issues, we understand that the role of social movements is fundamental in the struggle for recognition and social justice in human rights for this population. Based on this assertion, we intend to analyze how the right to health agenda was articulated by the LGBTI+ movement in Rio Grande do Norte, throughout its history. To achieve our goal, we will use the semi-structured interview technique, along the lines of oral history, with LGBTI+ activists in RN. In addition, documentary research will be carried out on action plans, debate records, minutes of meetings and other historical records related to the LGBTI+ movement in RN. For data analysis, the theoretical-methodological perspective of Hermeneutic-Dialectic Analysis will be used. The initial analyzes of the study allow us to observe certain limits of institutionalized spaces of social control. In addition, it suggests that two main moments that overlap in the articulation of the agenda of the right to health by the LGBTI+ movement: the moment of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the moment of rise of the agendas of the trans and transvestite population.
