Preconceito contra homossexuais no ambiente escolar

Abstract

This research aims to investigate how prejudice against the LGBTQIA+ population is confronted in the school environment. To this end, we have outlined the following specific objectives: to research the history of sexuality and how the LGBTQIA+ population has been historically treated over time; to understand concepts related to LGBTQIA+ and prejudice in the school environment; and to analyze the main studies published between 2019 and 2024 on ways to confront prejudice against the LGBTQIA+ population in the school environment. This is, therefore, a bibliographic research. The analyses revealed that, although there have been normative advances and increased public debate about diversity, educational institutions still show weaknesses in confronting LGBTQIA+phobia. The examined studies point to the persistence of prejudiced discourse among teachers, the absence of effective inclusive policies, and gaps in professional training. It is observed that combating prejudice against LGBTQIA+ students requires structural transformations in the educational context, involving critical teacher training, revision of pedagogical practices, and the implementation of institutional policies that promote acceptance, respect, and equity.
