HOMOSSEXUALIDADE E EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: manifestação de preconceito

Abstract

The objective of this work is to verify if Physical Education can help homosexual students to be accepted by their peers at school and how it can do this. The normative character of school institutions has been pointed out by scholars in the field of gender and sexuality studies, both in Brazil and in other countries, where the production of non-transgressive masculinities and femininities in socially recognized identity catalogs has been highlighted. predominant theoretical references in research aimed at homophobia in schools, especially those centered on the concept of bullying. It concludes that, if on the one hand this concept contributes to the denunciation of violence against children and young people seen as (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites, Transsexuals and Transgender) LGBT in schools, on the other hand it is often understood within a psychological paradigm that neglects the extent to which behaviors associated with bullying are intrinsically linked to social relations of power and control. In this sense, it is considered essential here to politicize the debate on heterosexism that occurs in school institutions. The methodology used was qualitative bibliographic research.
