Prejudice aimed at the LGBT+ community has deep roots within Brazilian society, being disseminated over the years in different spheres and social contexts. This prejudice is the source of constant violence and violations of rights to this minority group, which directly affects the quality of life of the LGBT+ person. Knowing this, it is inherent to the investigation and analysis of existing public policies that seek to encompass this portion of the population, paying attention to knowing the fragility in its implementation and enforcement of rights, as well as seeking to understand whether the services correspond to their real needs. In view of this, this research had the general objective of analyzing public policies aimed at the LGBT+ population in the city of Manaus/AM, in order to achieve this objective, with the following specific purposes: identifying public policies aimed at this group; to characterize the predominant forms of violence in this public; discuss the effectiveness of services promoted by the State for this population segment in the reality of Manaus. With regard to the theoretical- methodological contribution that was used as the basis for carrying out this research, Marx's historical-dialectical materialism was his guiding method. Regarding the methodological procedures, the research was carried out in a bibliographical way and the instruments used were books, scientific articles, booklets, journalistic articles, dossiers and atlases, which were collected from various sources such as: Google academic, Scielo, the institution's virtual library, websites of the government of the State of Amazonas and the Municipality of Manaus. Finally, it stands out as one of the results revealed was the finding that there is a deficit of data involving the services that are offered to the LGBT+ community in the city of Manaus, which makes it difficult for this community to access the realization of rights through public services. A reality that highlights the urgency of public policies that meet the needs and demands of the LGBT+ Community and guarantee their rights.
