Purpose: This article explores different strands of educational discourse about sexual diversity in Portuguese schools, from the students perspectives. Method: The methodological approach consisted in conducting focus groups discussions: 36 with 232 young students (H = 106, M = 126) in 12 public secondary schools. Findings: Students reveal a polyphony of discourses that gravitate between liberal acceptance, conditional acceptance and intolerance. Research implications: Attention is drawn not only to discriminatory processes that question school as a democratic place for LGBT youth, but also to the gap between what is legally decreed and a lack of know-how in the approach to sexual diversity in school.

La diversidad sexual es la norma en el ser humano y lejos de sentir temor y rechazo por ella, deberíamos protegerla y promoverla. En este artículo se realiza una revisión acerca de las posibles causas de ese temor hacia la diversidad sexual. Se conceptualiza las diferentes dimensiones en torno a las cuales la sexualidad puede ser vivenciada de formas muy distintas. Se realiza un recorrido para comprender que la heterogeneidad sexual nos ha acompañado desde los inicios de nuestra existencia, cómo ha sido vista por la sociedad y por la ciencia, señalando los hitos fundamentales, los principales autores que han realizado aportaciones relevantes para acabar con una visión categorial de la orientación sexual y cómo ha evolucionado la consideración de la homosexualidad en los diferentes manuales de clasificación de problemas mentales. También se hace referencia a los estragos que causa la LGTBfobia entra las personas que se apartan del heterocentrismo vigente, los hitos en la lucha social por los derechos sexuales del colectivo LGTBI, las mejoras legislativas en España y el camino que nos queda por recorrer. ; Sexual diversity is the norm in human beings and far from feeling fear and rejection, we should protect and promote it. This paper reviews the possible causes of this fear towards sexual diversity. It conceptualizes the different dimensions around which sexuality can be experienced in very different ways. A historical journey is made to understand that sexual heterogeneity has accompanied us from the beginning of our existence, how it has been seen by society and by science, pointing out the fundamental milestones, the main authors who have made relevant contributions to end up with a categorical vision of sexual orientation and how the consideration of homosexuality has evolved in the different manuals of classification of mental problems. Reference is also made to the havoc caused by LGTBphobia among people who depart from the current heterocentrism, the milestones in the social struggle for the sexual rights of the LGTBI community, the legislative improvements in Spain and the road ahead.

The current article is the result of a wider research that seeks to generate discussion about the actual challenges of social work in the construction of alternatives of social intervention on sexual diversity contexts in Chile. The crisis of the heterosexual regulation reflects a contemporaneity marked by the visibility of the historically excluded groups, as a reflection of the sensitivity and questioning of a dominant manhood inherently excluder and unreachable, as political and positioning processes of a current group, but until recently hidden in our country. Through ethnographic technics and the incorporation of the concept of market as a vehicle of visibility, this works proposes ideas coherent with the construction of a cross-curricular praxis that responds to the new definition of social work, globally discussed, as well as the questioning processes and citizen movements during last decade. ; El presente artí­culo es fruto de una investigación de largo alcance que busca generar discusión en torno a los desafí­os contemporáneos del Trabajo Social en la construcción de alternativas de intervención social en contextos de diversidad sexual en Chile. La crisis de la norma heterosexual refleja una contemporaneidad marcada por la visibilidad de los grupos históricamente excluidos, reflejo de la sensibilización y cuestionamiento de una masculinidad dominante intrí­nsecamente exclusora e inalcanzable, como también de procesos de posicionamiento polí­tico y cultural de un colectivo presente, pero hasta hace poco invisibilizado, en nuestro paí­s. A través de técnicas etnográficas y la incorporación del concepto de mercado como vehí­culo de visibilidad, el trabajo propone ideas coherentes con la construcción de una praxis transdisciplinar que responde a la nueva definición de Trabajo Social, en discusión a nivel mundial, como de los procesos de cuestionamiento y mudanza ciudadanos revitalizados en la última década.

Since its beginnings in 2012, this research is situated in the crossroad between sociosemiotics and gender studies, analyzing the ways sexual diversity, non-normative sexual identities and new family models have been reconfigured in different sections of social discourse in Argentina in the two first decades of the 21st century. Our theoretical path builds a genealogy that thinks the relationships between Foucault's technologies of the self, Teresa de Lauretis' gender technologies, Haraway's and Preciado's contributions, and the relations between feminist theory and affective turn (Sarah Ahmed, Cecilia Macón, Leonor Arfuch). We revisit Laclau's, Lotman's, Angenot's definitions of Rhetoric, to think the political and persuasive dimension of discourse as a naturalization technology, in the analysis of a variety of discourses (literature, written press, educational materials, performances, audiovisual fiction, etc.), building on the hypothesis that the acceptability of non-heteronormative identities and affectivities, as discursive politics is grounded in the social validation of the emotions they put in play and articulate fundamental social evaluations and ideologemes. ; Desde sus inicios en 2012, el proyecto se enmarca en el cruce entre la sociosemiótica y los estudios de género, analizando los modos en que la diversidad sexual, las identidades sexuales no normativas y los nuevos modelos de familia han sido reconfigurados en distintos sectores del discurso social argentino de las dos primeras décadas del s. XXI. Nuestro recorrido teórico construye una genealogía que piensa las relaciones entre las tecnologías del yo de Foucault, las tecnologías de género de Teresa de Lauretis, las propuestas de Haraway y Preciado, y las relaciones entre teoría feminista y giro afectivo (Sarah Ahmed, Cecilia Macón, Leonor Arfuch). Retomamos las definiciones de la retórica de Laclau, Lotman y Angenot para pensar la dimensión política y persuasiva de los discursos como una tecnología de la naturalización en el análisis de una variedad de discursos (literatura, prensa escrita, materiales educativos, performances, ficción audiovisual, etc.), partiendo de la hipótesis de que la aceptabilidad de las identidades y afectividades no heteronormativas, como política discursiva, se sustenta en la validación social de las emociones que se ponen en juego en ellas, que articulan valoraciones sociales e ideologemas fundamentales.

Engaging key populations, including gender and sexual minorities, is essential to meeting global targets for reducing new HIV infections and improving the HIV continuum of care. Negative attitudes toward gender and sexual minorities serve as a barrier to political will and effective programming for HIV health services. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), established in 2003, provided Gender and Sexual Diversity Trainings for 2,825 participants including PEPFAR staff and program implementers, U.S. government staff, and local stakeholders in 38 countries. The outcomes of these one-day trainings were evaluated among a subset of participants using a mixed methods pre- and post-training study design. Findings suggest that sustainable decreases in negative attitudes toward gender and sexual minorities are achievable with a one-day training.
