TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an approximation between the health care of the LGBT population as object of analysis and the referred theoretical reference, in order to highlight the morality implied in gender phobias, notably heteronormativity, homophobia and cisnormativity.
Abstract: The discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in the social determination of the disease makes the issue of health care for the LGBT population (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite and Transsexual) a question of ethics. Recognizing the Everyday Bioethics proposed by Giovanni Berlinguer as a powerful reference for the analysis of ethical problems, it is proposed an approximation between the health care of the LGBT population as object of analysis and the referred theoretical reference. For this reason, some concepts that allow us to highlight the morality implied in gender phobias, notably heteronormativity, homophobia and cisnormativity, are presented, in order to later draw the possible approximations between Everyday Bioethics and the health care problem of the LGBT population. It was considered that Everyday Bioethics constitutes a reflective apparatus of deep critical analysis to the way in which the health and life issues as a whole are treated, being able to include in its agenda the situations linked to the issues of gender, discrimination and social exclusion.
