Resumen

This study aims to gain in-depth knowledge of the presence of the LGBTI community in sexuality education, and how it is being addressed. To this end, Qualitative research was carried out, using the collective case study as a research strategy within the framework of sexuality education activities carried out in two secondary schools in the province of Almería (Andalusia, Spain). The procedures used in the data collection process were based on non-participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and an analysis of documentary sources. The results show a strong presence of exclusionary views, transmission of discriminatory conceptions, and silencing. They also reveal the LGBTI community is addressed in a superficial manner. Sexuality education is thus not regarded as a space to address non-hegemonic identities and corporealities, nor are those realities considered part of the diverse field of sexuality. This conception contributes to the reproduction and legitimisation of a stigmatised view, as non-hegemonic identities and corporealities are perceived as abnormal, uncommon, exceptional, and taboo.
