Nowadays we are facing a revitalization of the discussion regarding sexual diversity in the educational context.

Through the application of in-depth interviews with teachers and students, it was established that there are relevant differences between these establishments regarding the way to approach sexual diversity, its visibility and the beliefs that the actors have in this regard.
