Abstract

This essay presents an interdisciplinary debate, summing contributions from law studies, anthropology, sociology, medicine and social psychology in order to think about the political context, the epistemological basis, the tendencies and risks present in the configuration of public policies applied to sexual diversity, gender expression and corporal diversity in Brazil. It also explores the political events represented by the Supreme Court’s decision on same sex and different sex unions’ equal rights, as well as the federal government decision to suspend the distribution by the National Education Office of non governmental organizations’ pedagogical material destined to fight homophobia in the school system.
