BACKGROUND: Literature shows that stigma against LGBTQ+ people in healthcare affects professionals as well as patients. Research indicates that discrimination is transversal to all healthcare professions; hierarchies and heteronormativity contribute to difficult visibility both with colleagues and with patients.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the experiences of LGBTQ+ healthcare professionals in the workplace, analyzing their practices of (in)visibility, their experiences of discrimination and their relationships with patients.
METHODS: Data were collected through semi-structured interviews to 17 healthcare professionals working in the public healthcare sector in Portugal and identifying as LGBTQ+. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis.
RESULTS: Healthcare professionals report challenges in managing visibility in the workplace and the relevance of verbal abuse in interprofessional relationships. They oscillate between reluctance to assume their identity publicly and micro-practices of resistance to discrimination.
LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS: The findings of the study stress the importance of micro-practices in the definition of LGBTQ+-friendly healthcare environment and the need for further research on visibility in the healthcare workplace.
