Abstract

The present Final Paper aims to compare the performance of the government of Rio Grande do Norte with the federal government between the period of 2019 to 2022, regarding social participation in LGBTQIA+ policies. The specific objectives are: i) To understand the relationship between the state government of Rio Grande do Norte and the Federal government with participatory instances aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community between 2019 and 2022; ii) To present how participatory institutions of the LGBTQIA+ movement contributed to the development of public policies for the community during this period; iii) To identify the challenges and opportunities encountered by LGBTQIA+ movements during the 2019-2022 period. The study adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory character, utilizing documentary research and semi-structured interviews as data collection techniques. The analysis employed qualitative interpretative and descriptive content analysis. The research reveals a contrast between the state and federal administrations; one centralized decisions and attempted to exclude civil participation in the formulation of policies for the LGBTQIA+ community, while the other administration remained open to dialogue and authentic in its policies for the community.
