“…Many families, faced with the dissidence of the heterosexuality of their members, carry out a series of punishments, ranging from mild verbal offenses to serious physical violence (24) . Studies show that rejection and family violence in the outcoming process and the non-provision of social support have a direct impact on the health of homosexual adolescents and young people, with consequences such as: social isolation, depression, suicidal ideation and attempt, low performance low self-esteem, higher social exposures and an increase in internalized homophobia (1)(2)(25)(26) .

It is not, therefore, a process restricted to the individual field of people, but it involves the collectivity and, consequently, the professionals and health services that serve the LGBT population.…”

“…15,16 Un estudio cuyo objetivo fue documentar las disparidades en salud mental relacionadas con la discriminación por orientación sexual en adolescentes de México indicó entre sus hallazgos que los eventos de depresión, autoestima, ideación suicida e intento de suicidio y consumo de cigarros, alcohol y otras drogas en los sujetos de estudio, se diferenciaban con la experiencia de violencia en la familia y la escuela. 17 No basta con establecer marcos legales para avanzar en el plano de los derechos humanos; se debe trabajar a través de planes de acción integrales que visualicen espacios articuladores para la familia y la política pública, como lo es la escuela.…”
