Abstract

This article aims to analyze proposals submitted to the National Congress addressing gender and sexuality in education, particularly in relation to school trajectories, over the period from 1988 to 2024, in order to identify the presence of elements associated with conservatism. The article is structured around an introduction and six sections. The first discusses conservatism and establishes the conceptual definition adopted in the study. The second addresses the intersectional dimensions of gender and sexuality, relating them to conservative thought and the field of education. The third presents the empirical data, based on a qualitative and documentary approach, outlining the sources, data collection procedures, and analytical strategies employed. The fourth and fifth sections focus on the examination of legislative proposals, organized around two analytical dimensions: diversity in education and intersectional recognition. The sixth section presents the final considerations.
