Homophobic violence is a complex and quite common phenomenon in contemporary society. Such reality is constantly fueled by the processes of revictimization, underreporting and impunity in dealing with homophobia. All this context is frequently present during the professional care of the LGBT population in the various organs of protection and promotion of their human and sexual rights. The present situation becomes a challenge for the Social Service because it is a profession that seeks the viability of Rights for all its users, being the demands of sexual diversity and gender problematic that permeate all social spaces needing a humanized service capable of enabling and not revitalizing these subjects. In order to better understand this context, the present study aims to analyze the perceptions of Social Service professionals regarding the care of the professional category in cases of homophobic violence against the LGBT population in Sergipe. The research was carried out with 10 (ten) social workers who attended LGBT victims of cases of homophobic violence in the various public policies in Sergipe. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview script, and analyzed through the content analysis technique. Among the main results, it has been shown that Social Service professionals are not prepared and able to meet the demands of sexual and gender diversity, due to several factors such as: 1) the absence and / or lack of debates about this issue in their process Of academic and professional formation 2) presence of prejudice and discrimination strongly presented in the discourses of these subjects 3) disengagement or lack of accountability of the Brazilian State in dealing with homophobia among others. To the detriment of this context, the attention of social service professionals to the demands of the LGBT population has been more focused on the field of revictimization than on the viability of their human and sexual rights, a scenario that reinforces a conservative and fundamentalist tendency of the professional category, Contradictory to its Ethical-Political Project. Therefore, this research made it clear an urgent need to discuss themes on sexual and gender diversity within Social Work, as well as to carry out new studies on the subject matter in this area, as well as to promote prevention and awareness-raising activities for social workers in Relation to the confrontation of homophobic violence as one of the expressions of the social issue to which everyone is entitled to fight.
