Experiências de professoras/es LGBTQIA+ dentro de uma escola

Abstract

An LGBTQIA + person can go through school with his/her sexual orientation invisibly, or rather, with the people around him/her expecting him/her to be a heterosexual person, as this is the standard set. It is a position that possibly avoids the negative effects of assuming oneself, such as the physical and verbal violence of everyday life. However, on the other hand, it brings a stressful routine to the teacher, and as social relations at school deepen, more and more effort is spent to make his/her sexual orientation invisible, in addition to losing an important opportunity to deal with the topic at school. In this article, we do not envisage broadening the debate on sexual orientations, but showing how, for whom and at what moments educators negotiate their sexual orientation and become public in the school environment, through interviews with LGBTQIA + educators from a school.
