The interview was semi-structured, with a thematic content analysis. Results: Three categories emerged: homosexuality as sexual choice and question of gender; the bias imposed by society and holistic care without discrimination. The study shows that some undergraduates feel they are prepared to care for the homosexual clientele, using as a parameter, the lack of prejudice and the respect for others, points considered important in conducting a consultation. Conclusion: There is a need to invest in the training of teachers in the pursuit of articulated knowledge, capable of reducing the prejudices and prepare future health professionals to lead with this reality.
