Violence against LGBT people has always been present in our society. Brazil is the country with the highest number of lethal crimes against LGBT people in the world. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of homicides of LGBT people in Brazil using spatial analysis. The LGBT homicide rate was used to facilitate the visualization of the geographical distribution of homicides. Public thoroughfares and the victim's home were the most common places of occurrence. The most commonly used methods for killing male homosexuals and transgender people were cold weapons and firearms, respectively; however, homicides frequently involved beatings, suffocation, and other cruelties. The large majority of victims were aged between 20 and 49 years and typically white or brown. The North, Northeast and Central-West regions, precisely the regions with the lowest HDI, presented LGBT homicide rates above the national rate. LGBT homicides are typically hate crimes and constitute a serious public health problem because they affect young people, particularly transgender people. This problem needs to be addressed by the government, starting with the criminalization of homophobia and the subsequent formulation of public policies to reduce hate crimes and promote respect for diversity.
针对 LGBT 群体的暴力行为在我们的社会中一直存在。巴西是世界上针对 LGBT 群体的致命犯罪数量最多的国家。本研究旨在使用空间分析描述巴西 LGBT 群体杀人案的特征。使用 LGBT 杀人率来促进杀人案的地理分布可视化。公共场所和受害者的家是最常见的发生地点。杀害男同性恋者和跨性别者最常用的方法分别是冷兵器和枪支；然而，杀人案经常涉及殴打、窒息和其他残忍行为。大多数受害者年龄在 20 至 49 岁之间，通常是白种人或棕色人种。北部、东北部和中西部地区，正是人类发展指数最低的地区，LGBT 杀人率高于全国水平。LGBT 杀人案通常是仇恨犯罪，构成了严重的公共卫生问题，因为它们影响到年轻人，特别是跨性别者。政府需要解决这个问题，首先是将仇视同性恋行为定罪，然后制定公共政策，以减少仇恨犯罪，促进对多样性的尊重。
