Abstract
Sexual diversity has been an issue broadly discussed in many social spaces, including at school. This article’s goal is to analyze the legal discourse about sexual diversity present in the documental material of the Brazilian governmental project known as Health and Prevention at Schools. First, the article exposes the the theoretical and methodological elements used, inspired especially by Michel Foucault’s conception of discourse. Next, the article exposes and discusses the results found in relation to the legal discourse present in the analyzed materials. It questions the presence, in the documents, of elements based on justice resources, such as equality between men, respect for differences and fight against prejudice and the “judicialization of life”. Finally, some final considerations that discuss the discourse in its realities production function are presented, questioning the defense of equality’s double game and traps.
