According to ABGLT (2016), 73 percent of LGBTQIA+ students have already suffered verbal aggression due to their sexual orientation and 68 percent due to their gender identity. For Prado (2010), In Brazilian society, we still have lack of knowledge of homophobia. Yes, we do know it exists both from empirical data, from researches, and from the logic of experience. However, we are facing a quite contradictory moment: we know homophobia exists, but we know very little about how it works and what are its dynamics when combined with other forms of treating someone as inferior. Understanding how homophobia operates, especially when it is obvious that the prejudice is not only in the individuals only, but it is also articulated in the culture and in the institutions, it is fundamental to improve the forms of confronting and de- constructing its violent and silent practices (PRADO, 2010, p. 9). Figure 2: Types of violence indicated by respondents It was concluded that, in the sample, 94.9 percent of heterosexuals have a score of violence between 0 and 2, that is, they say they have suffered no more than two aggressions or discriminations among those listed in the survey, and 79.7 percent in this group show a null score. Among LGBTQIA+, the situation is different, as 31.2 percent have a violence score between 0 and 2, and only 17.5 percent have a null score, that is, they have suffered no violence at all. Figure 3 shows graphically the concentration of lower scores for the heterosexual population. © 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue II Version I 52 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 C Sexuality and Violence: Analysis of a LGBT Citizenship Parade in Campo Grande-MS
