Dinâmica do preconceito por gênero e sexualidades no cotidiano escolar: os limites da democracia liberal

Abstract

This paper discusses three central issues: the limits imposed on the exercise of thinking about sexuality in schools, the fact that sexuality issues challenge the institutions of education and the challenge of constructing strategies that counteract these barriers. In a dialogue with a research that investigated the phenomenon of homophobia in the school routine, we sought to reflect on the questions cited. Based on the analysis of scenes from everyday school life, the objective was to demonstrate that homophobic prejudice develops a dynamic capable of making it invisible through its own actions. So, in consequence, actions aimed at combating homophobia need to problematize the limits of liberal democracy.
