This article proposes a systematic review based on research that addresses the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on the LGBTQIA+ population, explaining that it is a crisis within a crisis. The “unveiling” of oppression and other forms of violence is clear, while the number of mental health problems has potentially worsened for the majority of this segment, who are obliged to live with family members who do not legitimize their sexual orientations and gender identities. Work, income and loneliness are also issues that are aggravated by the scenario of social isolation for a large part of the LGBTQIA+ population. The results found mobilize reflections about the role of Psychology in the fight for Human Rights and full access to health services for this population, who live with the deprivation of these spaces. The intersectoral dialogue with other areas of knowledge is also crucial in order to develop strategic and affirmative actions, in favor of the population that is victim of violence.
