In this article we bring a critical reflection on the training project "Educando para a Diversidade," conducted by Nuances -a Porto Alegre NGO-, funded by the Brazilian government as part of the actions in the program Brasil sem Homofobia. Findings are based on participative observation, discussion groups, interviews and document analysis. We address debates on sexual diversity work in everyday life at school. Breaking with the abject visibility reserved for non-heterosexual students and teachers or those who deviate from gender standards, as well constructing an ethic citizen visibility is something that requires continuous work and effort. What is at stake is the legitimacy of sexuality as an issue. In order to increase the impact of these actions it would be necessary to create a support and monitoring center for the educators trained by the project.
