This study aims to analyze the discourses produced in the discursive practices of the religious and political leaders belonging to the evangelical churches and / or ultraconservative political parties regarding educational policies to combat homophobia. The authors engage in the task of analyzing the various speeches made by these leaders in relation to initiatives that promote sexual diversity and public policies that combat homophobia in schools. To achieve these goals, the study uses the discourse analysis developed by Michel Foucault (1969/2008). The corpus consists of videos located on YouTube that contain statements, preaching, debates or conferences involving three political and religious leaders opposed to educational policies that combat homophobia. The results indicate that the subjects produce discourses that are based on moral, pseudo-scientific, cultural and religious positions to argue for heteronormativity.

Keywords : Education; homophobia; heteronormativity; discourses; exclusion.
