ABSTRACT
The article delves into various strategies that should be taken into account when addressing homophobia and transphobia, homophobic and transphobic bullying behaviors and improve assistance for sexual-emotional diversity at the school from a whole school approach, to help prevent any homophobic and transphobic discrimination and lead heteronormative cultures existing in school. These keys were taken from the analysis of the various researches that have been carried out in education in relation to young people’s attitude towards sexual-emotional diversity and harassment and discrimination and consecuently, the insecurity experienced by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) students in school contexts. Measures such a stablish and publish anti-discrimination and harassment policies specifying sexual emotional orientation and gender expresion; training of teachers and other school personnel to know how to act in situations of harassment and victimization related to sexual emotional orientation and gender expression; add LGBT issues in the curriculum and information about sexual emotional orientations and gender expression and, availability of sources of information and support for LGBT students. These criteria should be applied taking into account those intervention programs that address the interpersonal relationships improvement, discrimination and harassment behaviors prevention and to support the students social inclusion.
