Para Além do Devir: políticas públicas educacionais para a diversidade sexual

Abstract

This article carries out an analysis of the public policy directed to School Education for coping with homophobia at school, in order to recognize and value sexual diversity. It approaches the national scene from the early twenty-first century to the present day, taking the role of the LGBT movement as the centerpiece of it and the government's responses to the education-related demands. For this purpose, I present an analysis of the institutional documents that have approached the issue in the past ten years. It ends by taking the case of the project Escola sem Homofobia (School without Homophobia) as an example of the conflict that surrounds this matter. It is evident that the educational policy is the most delicate point of the state‟s anti-homophobic policies. As a result, we can mention the insufficiency of public policies to face the presented challenges, the absence of regulatory frameworks, and the timid action of the Federal Government, which has been dooming LGBT‟s right to education to a possibility in the future rather than a reality in the present.
