Abstract

The present research aimed to identify the stigmas of discrimination and social exclusion caused by prejudice and homophobia against LGBT+Q families in the district of Trujillo. A descriptive correlational study was carried out with a sample of 150 people from the district of Trujillo with a medium-high socio-economic level, aged between 18 and 54, who were questioned to find out about the stereotypes that exist in Trujillo society, and the information was processed and analyzed in tables and figures. The stigmas against people who identify with the LGBT+Q community within their own family are directly related to the traditional way of thinking of people and the rigid way of being within Trujillo society, which, added to the experience of those who suffer from stereotypes, indicates that there are still many barriers against free gender expression.
