On the 17th of May, the International Day to Combat Homophobia was celebrated. Therefore, in order to make the population aware of the date, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul is offering a free online course in National LGBT Health Policy.
Therefore, the course brings basic concepts related to the LBGT community. Such as what is sexual orientation, gender identity, color and race. This is because many of these subjects still carry social stigmas, or are just unknown by the population.
