Gender and sexualities in high school: confrontation and negotiation

Focusing on the daily life of high scholl students and their interaction with colleagues and representatives of other generations, the article discusses the normative character of the school institution (and its limits) with regard to gender and sexuality issues. Noting the hyperbolic presence of these issues in high schools, follow two mutually implicated considerations: a) gender and sexuality are subject to resistance of subjectivities on the part of all who work in the school environment; b) schools are excellence spaces for learning to recognize gender equality and sexual diversity as rights.
