Resumen
The main objective of this study was to explore the perceptions of LGBTQIA+ students
regarding sexual and gender diversity in the university context by (1) identifying conceptions about
a being LGBTQIA+ student in the higher education context, (2) researching perceptions of the stigma
and discrimination against, and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ students and (3) to recognize discourses
and scenarios identified by students in the university context regarding sexual diversity and gender
diversity, distinguishing their experiences in the classroom as well as in the university, with their
peers and with their professors. This research was based on a quantitative method, the sample
consisted of 171 students from the School of Medicine of a public university in the United States in
the state of Texas. The results showed that there is currently a greater knowledge of the subject of
sexual and gender diversity and of the spaces and resources offered by the university on the subject
compared to previous years, however, it is found that knowledge is still limited and that this
knowledge may possibly be due to the faculty in which they study.
