This paper analyzes the information regarding violence against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual (lgbti) population under Colombia's armed conflict, as well as the emergence of the differential approach for this population in the Law of Victims (Ley de Víctimas). For each of these processes the paper will discuss their creation as well as the challenges posed by their documentation and by state intervention in the phenomenon's. We argue that these two political processes, the generation of information and the legal creation of a differential approach, try to establish a different social order to that produced by armed parties against the lgbti population. Nonetheless, these political processes interact and pose substantial challenges to the full observance of the rights of this population. In particular, pecific challenges are identified regarding the sexual identity of the victims, the type of violence exercised against them, the sociocultural contexts in which violence is produced and the coordinated institutional action., Este artículo analiza la información sobre la violencia contra la población de lesbianas, gays, bisexuales, transgeneristas e intersexuales (LGBTI) en el marco del conflicto armado, así como la emergencia del enfoque diferencial para esta población en la Ley de Víctimas. En cada uno de estos procesos se evidenciarán los retos que plantean la documentación y la intervención estatal en el fenómeno. Se argumentará que estos dos procesos políticos, el de generación de información y el de la creación legal del enfoque diferencial, intentan fundar un orden social distinto al producido por los actores armados contra la población LGBTI. No obstante lo anterior, estos procesos políticos interactúan y presentan retos importantes para la vigencia plena de los derechos de este grupo poblacional. En particular se evidencian desafíos relacionados con la identidad sexual de las víctimas, el tipo de violencia que ejercen contra ellas, los contextos socioculturales en los cuales se produce la violencia y la acción institucional coordinada.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender(LGBT) people are a minority group,whose recognition awakens emotional reactions, perceptions and attitudes;the majority with negative tendence. The perceptions and attitudes of rejection are due in large part to the prejudice against this group, which often leads to a stigmatizationof LGBT people. Assessment of the perceptions of adolescents towards LGBT individuals was the main purpose of the research.A survey, consisting of aseries of qualitative and quantitative questions offering the surveyed people the possibility of providing to the questions personal comments and observations, was applied to 1130 college students and 31 teachers. The students in general stated that it isincorrect mistreating LGBT people. They strongly perceive that family, school and especially the society as hostile environments for LGBT.Moreover, most of thesurveyed adolescents expressed serious concern that if they were LGBT, they would worry about the emotional reaction of family, friends, teachers and peers. In the worst case, they even expect being rejected by friends and peers, experience pressure from their family to change attitude, and likely be confronted by an indifferent attitude of their teachers as the latter usually seldom care about the personal situation of students. Given the widespread public opinion and the risk to become the target of strong negative attitudes some adolescents stated to be very reluctant to make public their sexual orientation. It is believed that for achieving social equity for LGBT people one has to work towards the liberation for the broader society from sexual oppression, requiring the initiation of a series of activities, such as the initiation of educational programs aiming de-ligitimization of the prejudice and the opening of people’s mind.

The overall objective of the survey was to assess the attitude of school age adoloscents regarding LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transsexuals) and the factors controlling the attitude. Knowledge of the extent and insight in the controlling factors will help in providing efficient and effective educational programs ensuring equality and respect regarding this minority group. The research was quantitative, transversal, descriptive and comparative. A survey was applied to 1130 high school students and 31 teachers to investigate the relationship between the attitudes regarding the LGBT minority group and the socio-demographic, family, community and personal factors of the sampled population. For the exploration of the relationship between the variables use was made of the chi-square statistics. Analysis of the survey data revealed that the majority of the adolescents had liberal homophobia attitudes. The factors controlling this attitude by school age adolescents regarding LGBT are: high school type, age, gender, level of religiosity, education level of parents, level of family communication, degree of prejudiced believes, to know a person who is LGBT, and sexual orientation. In summary, the adolescents from Cuenca have homophobic attitudes, which justifies the development of educational programs with the challenging objective of changing the attitudes towards LGBT.
