Summary: This reflection article intends to provide elements to understand discrimination against sexual minorities from the perspective of basic and high school education classrooms in Colombia. The first chapter interprets the national educational legislation within the frame of the Childhood and Adolescence Law and the National Constitution, together with the Yogyakarta Principles International Declaration. Then, the causes of discrimination in the school will be studied based on published anthropological and sociological works on this issue. In the final reflection, some conclusions are drawn and complemented with Richard Rorty and Judith Butler�s philosophical thoughts, in order to open paths leading to a full acknowledgement of sexual diversity within educational systems.
