Introduction: Suicide is a global phenomenon, characterized by its complexity and multifactorial nature, affecting over 700,000 people annually around the world. Suicidal behavior has been confirmed to be prevalent among sexual and gender minority groups, with more cases reported when compared to cis-heterosexual population, especially among teenagers and young adults, between ages of 15 and 29. LGBTQIAPN+ suicide is a phenomenon underreported and underrecorded, often overlooked in self-harm notification and death certificates, making it extremely difficult to access official statistics and highlighting negligence in public policies. Objective: Analyze the discourse of LGBTQIAPN+ individuals about suicide, their experiences and identities, as well as social, cultural and psychological factors influence the discursive construction regarding this theme. Methods: This qualitative study in public health was conducted with 12 self-identified LGBTQIAPN+ individuals residing in four municipalities in the Grande Vitória region of Espírito Santo, identified through the snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and the researcher’s field journal. The data analysis was conducted in light of the theoretical framework of Schizoanalysis by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Findings: The LGBTQIAPN+ population exhibits some health vulnerabilities, which are specific to this social demographic, however, social exclusion, silencing, the violence and discrimination emerge as predominant factors in the development of mental disorders, which can lead to suicidal behavior. As a way to strengthen themselves in society today, the participants indicated escape routes that enhance their life potential, such as art and friendship, social support, being among other LGBTQIAPN+ individuals and being involved in social movements, as well as work and access to formal education. The health needs identified for the LGBTQIAPN+ population that require investment and promotion include humanized care, basic sexual health services, the expansion of transgender processes, and psychological assistance.
