The insertion of the thematic of gender and sexuality in educational policies is marked by disputes that, historically, are reflected in advances and setbacks in training aimed at respecting and recognizing sexual and gender diversity in school and society as a whole. In this sense, this text presents experience reports regarding the institutionalization of the Nucleus for Studies and Research in Gender and Sexuality (NEPGS) at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Northern Minas Gerais (IFNMG). It was proposed as central question of this article the following question: In which way was the process of institutionalizing the NEPGS outlined in the IFNMG? The objective is to trace the historical path referring to the NEPGS regulation process, through experience reports provided by educators who worked in the nucleus conception stages, from the first discussions to their institutionalization in the IFNMG. We opted for a qualitative approach, being the methodological route  based on the narrative collected from semi-structured interviews, as well as questions made by email to complement the data; in the analysis of documents relevant to the nucleus; and, still, in bibliographic review. The theoretical and methodological itinerary allowed knowing the thematic and the beginning of the trajectory of this nucleus, which has much to contribute to the discussions on gender and sexuality at the IFNMG. The reports and other information collected demonstrated that the institutionalization of NEPGS is an important step towards an education that intend the integral and polytechnic human training, directed towards the expansion of citizenship through the recognition of diversity and respect for differences. However, for the fulfillment of the NEPGS purposes, it is necessary initial and continuous training of educators in this thematic, the support of campuses in the development of actions and, above all, overcoming the barriers of prejudice and discrimination, for the building a just and emancipated society.
