This article guides the importance of a queer literacy, using the mainstay of the social literacies of Street (2014). A more inclusive literacy, reaching non-hegemonic subjectivities within the traditional educational process that excludes and ignores them. We use here the ideas of Cosson (2006), Kleiman (2005), Lopes (2002) with the crossings of queer theory in  Miskolci (2021) and Louro (2001, 2013, 2022), as well as Foucault (1999, 2013). Through the approaches of the mentioned works, subjects related to sexualities and gender were investigated through intertextuality and interdisciplinarity, in the critical power of literary texts by Trevisan (In te name of desire ,2001 and The Golden age od Brazil, 20219). The objective, then, is to find clues and answers for a queer literacy that is more committed to these issues that are as thorny as they are urgent in the classroom. In times of “school without a political party” and surveillance of the freedom of teaching,, and considering the reflections obtained from this analysis, it is stated that there is still much to be done for a change within the classroom. Finally, it is intended to raise questions and notes about the viability of a queer literacy to reduce prejudices in the learning of liberating practices.
