(Sexual) identities, in relation to their place within schools, are constantly producing tension and suffering from interpellation of curricula. Considering this scenario, from the contributions of the theories of gender and sexuality and participant observation methodology, this article aimed to question the ways in which hegemonic masculinities are performatized and interact with sexual dissidents identities such as gay and transgender (GT) in two public schools in the Baixada Fluminense, region of Rio de Janeiro. With the data that supported the analysis, produced from author`s teaching practices, we sought to question the curriculum with a view to interrogate them about the talks that produced modes of subjectivity and taught heteronormative, complementary and asymmetrical ways of projection of sexual identities heavily traversed by the expectations surrounding the black masculinity.
