This paper presents a reflection about guidelines and parameters for that the Brazilian government has implemented for schools, with the purpose of reducing the social and cultural differences existing in the country. The aim of this study is to investigate the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) in order to identify and understand how the issue of sexual orientation is presented in documents officials. This is a qualitative study with document analysis and subsequent discourse analysis based on feminist theories and gender studies. The results presented how positive include the issue of sexual orientation in national school curricular, but the way the term is presented is still incipient about sexual diversity and understanding it in a model of sexuality hygienist. You can work sexual diversity in all its facets in schools; however, it needs to be visualized, not only in federal documents, as generally in society.

Keywords : Education; gender; sexual orientation; national curricular parameters; sexual diversity.
