This research aimed to analyze the experiences of young LGBTQIA+ activists in the schooling process in view of the various homophobic manifestations present in social and school life in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri, Pará, Brazil. The methodological approach adopted is qualitative, with semi-structured interviews with 04 (four) LGBTQIA+ activists who have already completed basic education and participated in the first movements to achieve militancy in that municipality.The data were analyzed based on the content analysis technique. The results point to prejudice and homophobia, as problems that exclude young people from the perspective of society, since many aggressive practices occurred inside and outside schools are derived from the lack of respect for differences, and this involves different cultures, learning and values. In this sense, it is relevant for the school to have a broad curriculum, focused on the various social dimensions to which it is inserted, enabling the formation of critical and reflective citizens, since the school is often the only hope of reversal of the expectations of each student, that is, within the institution with its school walls believe that they will be protected and equipped with the right to be treated with justice and equity, regardless of their ability to concentrate, sexual orientation, race and economic condition.
