  Modern society is diverse, multicultural, and multifaceted. Because of these
characteristics, we are currently observing an increase in the debates about
equity, diversity, and inclusion in different areas, especially because several
groups of individuals are underrepresented in many environments. In computer
science and software engineering, it seems counter-intuitive that these areas,
which are responsible for creating technological solutions and systems for
billions of users around the world, do not reflect the diversity of the society
to which it serves. In trying to solve this diversity crisis in the software
industry, researchers started to investigate strategies that can be applied to
increase diversity and improve inclusion in academia and the software industry.
However, the lack of diversity in computer science and related courses,
including software engineering, is still a problem, in particular when some
specific groups are considered. LGBTQIA+ students, for instance, face several
challenges to fit into technology courses, even though most students in
universities right now belong to Generation Z, which is described as
open-minded to aspects of gender and sexuality. In this study, we aimed to
discuss the state-of-art of publications about the inclusion of LGBTQIA+
students in computer science education. Using a mapping study, we identified
eight studies published in the past six years that focused on this public. We
present strategies developed to adapt curricula and lectures to be more
inclusive to LGBTQIA+ students and discuss challenges and opportunities for
future research
