SUMMARY:

This research investigated the risk factors (RF) and protective factors (PF) for the development of LGBT+ street connected adolescents and youth. To this end, it used the Bioecological Theory of Human Development to analyze the reverberations of experiences linked to sexual and gender diversity in the life trajectories of the participants, considering the relationships established in the micro-systems of the street, family and social institutions/projects. This is a qualitative descriptive study in which two adolescents and eight young black people took part, aged between 16 and 22 and with previous and/or current street experiences in Salvador/Ba. There are four cis women, one trans woman, three cis men and two non-binary people, with different sexual orientations: three lesbians, three gays, three bisexuals and one heterosexual. The reflective interviews were analyzed using the Thematic Analysis technique, mobilizing references such as the theory of Minority Stress. From an intersectional perspective of the social markers of difference (gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, social class, among others), the study considered that the public surveyed is exposed to specific risks related to prejudice directed at sexual and gender minority status. LGBT+phobia is pointed out as one of the reasons for taking to the streets, and this microsystem is fundamental for socialization, expression and experiencing sexuality and gender dissent, implying both risk and protection dimensions. The family, despite the adversities experienced, is still a significant microsystem of reference. The institutional contexts, above all the social project in which they participate, is a differential in the lives of the participants, promoting participation and engagement in artistic and cultural activities, family and community life, as well as welcoming and offering support for sexual and gender diversity, with emphasis on the protective effects of LGBT+ representation. The RF identified point to different forms of victimization, rejection and lack of social and emotional support. The FP, on the other hand, encompasses welcoming and respecting sexual and gender diversity in different contexts, including the fundamental issue of access to educational opportunities, decent work, associated with life projects and future projections. Furthermore, the research reiterates that RF and PF are dynamic and relational variables that involve individual and contextual aspects, as well as not being universal, and that it is essential to promote contexts that welcome sexual and gender diversity and promote resilience processes.
