Who sees a face, does not see sexual orientation, nor gender identity: Comprehending teaching practices concerning LGBTI-phobias at schools
LGBTIphobia; gender identity; sexual orientation.
Lesbians, gays, bissexuals, travesti, male and female transexuals, intersexual people, non-binary people or queer (LGBTI+) suffer LGBTIphobia at school. Even thought it is considered crime, similar to racism (STF, 2019), at school, this LGBTIphobia is manifested in the contempt of speeches in which sexual orientation and gender identity are addressed. The researches that theorize about the silencing of school on LGBTIphobia are organized by pedagogy of sexuality (LOURO, 1999), omission (DINIS, 2011), heteroterrorism (BENTO, 2011), subjection (ANDRADE, 2012) and closet (JUNQUEIRA, 2013). On the other hand, there are teachers who create a space of sociability for LGBTI+ (RANNIERY, 2016) through gaps and partnerships (SEFFNER e CAETANO, 2016; AMARO, 2018; SEPULVEDA e SEPULVEDA, 2018). The aim of this work is to investigate the comprehension of teachers about their actions towards LGBTIphobia at escola. The research, based on presupositions of educational qualitative research (GATTI e ANDRÉ, 2013), was built in three methodological movements. The first movement refers to the reception of the project of investigation about actions towards LGBTIphobias at school in 12 schools, when we have observed and participated in 23 actions. The second movement concerns to the content analyze (BARDIN, 2013) of teaching practices which occur at school via work project; content imersion, culmination of the project; advice of students and teacher training. The third movement is, through eight interviews with teachers that developed work projects and organized teacher training in an instuitucionalized way. The research revealed the existence of a Pedagogy of approach to LGBTI protagonism developed by teachers and students. Teachers get close to LGBTI members when they respond, with projects, to the demand for gender and sexuality debats. Students get close to LGBTI issues when they star these demands.
