This article summarizes a research done about homosexuality narratives in a group of school children between the ages of 8 to 11 from the city of Ibague, Colombia. The research adopted the qualitative method from the comprehensive-interpretative paradigm and the epistemology of the known subject. In particular, it turns to the narrative of thematic focus with the aim of uncovering social discourses in the group of emerging narratives around the subject. The findings identify nine thematic categories that constitute multiple and contradictory views about homosexuality. Such narratives are constantly energized between heteronormative essentialist discourses which strengthen discrimination, disregard, and invisibility, and between discourses of recognition and human rights that tend to recognize and value homosexuality. An ontological, epistemological, and methodological route is suggested for the educational approach to sexuality, which favors the collective construction of knowledge and the emergence of the children as narrative, ethical, and political subjects.

Keywords : narratives; social discourses; homosexuality; sexuality; children.
