Narratives of Lesbian Women in the School and in Daily Routine

LGBTphobia and gender bias issues are common in school and school curricula. Through narrative interviews with seven lesbian women, coming from both public and private education, this article aimed to show their perception of these issues. From the analysis of the interviews, the article goals were to trace the specificities and subtleties of the construction of identities in the school space, as well as show the sexual representativeness in the school subjects. The recognition of homoaffective identity has been crossed by gender-based violence that meets the lesbophobia issues. The school curriculum, highlighting the heteronormativity by the bias of STIs reproduction, sets the school as a reproducer of norms regarding gender and sexuality issues.
