The aim of this article is to reflect on the Policy for the Integral Health for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite and Transsexual people (LGBT) in the context of health policy in Brazil and in light of Antonio Gramsci’s theory of the Enlarged State, embracing the domains of the state, public policies and health. This study is conducted through bibliographic research and retains a historical and critical character. Furthermore, it describes the Gramscian concept of the Enlarged State, approaches health reform, and analyzes the institution of the National Policy for LGBT Integral Health, especially from the perspective of vulnerability in the context of health public policies. It concludes, in the light of Gramscian theory, that civil society is important to the construction of public policies for LGBT individuals.

Keywords : Brazil; health policies; LGBT; nation-state; social vulnerability.
