“…Social structures of this sort, such as the Gay-Straight Alliances found in the USA, are associated with higher levels of mental health and less victimization among GLB students (Saewyc, 2011). On a more proximal level, a qualitative study showed that Portuguese teachers manifest prejudiced attitudes toward sexual minorities, for instance, by perceiving gays and lesbians as individuals who have the reverse gender roles (Rodrigues, Brás, Cunha, Petiz, & Nogueira, 2015). Aditionally, teachers manifested that school contexts are prevalently homophobic, and recognized the need of training on sexual diversity (Rodrigues, et al, 2015).…”

“…Alguns estudos revelam que os/as profissionais da educação têm tido atitudes homofóbicas (BUTLER & BYRNE, 1992;CLARK, 2010;FONTAINE, 1997;FONTAINE, 1998;RODRIGUES ET AL., 2015;SEARS, 1992;TELLJOHANN & PRICE, 1993) e influenciam as próprias atitudes e comportamentos dos/as outros/as alunos/as (FONTAINE, 1997;SEARS, 1992) que os/as têm como modelos ou conselheiros/as. Contudo, embora este panorama de homofobia nas escolas seja já comprovado na literatura, a maioria das escolas não aborda a temática da homossexualidade, nem os preconceitos encontrados no corpo docente (CLARK, 2010;FONTAINE, 1998).…”

Resumo: O presente artigo teve como objetivo elaborar uma resenha teórica sobre a forma como as escolas e seus/suas profissionais se posicionam relativamente à cidadania de jovens lésbicas. Em primeiro lugar, apresentámos as características do ambiente escolar para os/as jovens lésbicas, gays, bissexuais e transgénero. Depois, mostrámos como as pessoas com orientações sexuais e identidades de género não normativas são vistas e reconhecidas pelos seus pares e pelos/as professores/as, auscultando, em particular, as experiências de jovens lésbicas no contexto escolar. Por fim, discutimos sobre o modo como podemos contribuir para uma escola mais inclusiva que fomente a diversidade e a cidadania ativa de jovens lésbicas.

Introduction Homosexuality was decriminalized in Portugal in 1982, and several legislative changes have emerged since the beginning of the twenty-first century. However, 2010 marked the beginning of the approval of fundamental laws for the life of LGBTQ + people, such as same-sex marriage, access to parenthood and the right to self-determination of gender identity. Despite these advances, discrimination is still present in Portuguese society. Methods The aim of this investigation is to study the processes and experiences of discrimination of LGBTQ + people in their daily lives, analyzing the perception of the discrepancy between legislation and the experiences of participants. Its aim is also to analyze the strategies suggested by the participants to reduce this discrepancy. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 LGBTQ + participants, of various sexual orientations (six gay men, three lesbian women, six bisexual persons, five pansexual individuals, and one who identified as “other”) and gender identities (six transgender participants, including two trans men, two non-binary persons, one trans woman, and one genderqueer participant). Results Content analysis of these interviews resulted in 828 units of analysis coded in 30 categories. The participants reported that they have gone through multiple experiences of discrimination in different contexts and that they recognize forces of resistance to legal innovation. Conclusion There is a gap between legal advances and the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in Portugal, who still report discrimination experiences in many domains of daily life. Policy Implications Implications for research and public policies are presented, particularly considering the need to inform and provide training to both strategic audiences and stakeholders and to inform the larger population to promote social change.
