Actitudes y conocimientos sobre diversidad sexual en estudiantes universitarios de Bucaramanga

Abstract

The problem raised about the lack of knowledge and negative or hostile attitudes towards people belonging to the LGB community continues to be present in our society despite the advances made in terms of equal conditions. The struggle to achieve acceptance and eliminate contempt is not over yet, it is not enough to accommodate the laws so that respect in the culture prevails, on many occasions these are not even known by the population. The sample taken was from future professionals who will be in charge of providing a service as important as health and hence the need to eliminate all kinds of prejudice that leads to discrimination and aggression. Attitudes towards LGB people are generally very unfavorable or neutral. However, it should be noted that the hostile attitude is not marked, it is not about feeling repudiation towards the LGB community but rather considering that these are not natural expressions of human sexuality. Therefore, the existing prejudice is evident, which also leads to signaling and rejection.
