Studies show that most young people are tolerant of sexual diversity, although the reality
is that educational institutions are not completely inclusive of affective-sexual diversity.
The objective of this research has been twofold. On the one hand, the documentation
and didactic material of an educational centre in the metropolitan area of Granada were
reviewed in order to analyse the approach to affective-sexual diversity and prevention and
intervention measures in the face of homophobic school bullying. On the other hand, the
beliefs and attitudes of students (N=95) and teachers (N=17) towards gays and lesbians
were studied. In the first case, criteria for content analysis were designed. In the second
case, the Modern Homophobia Scale and the Modern Homonegativity Scale as measuring instruments were used for the evaluation of positive attitudes of the participants, taking into account sociodemographic characteristics. The results showed a reproduction of
sex-gender binarism, finding differences in sex and religious commitment of the students.
However, no differences were found in the teaching staff. The need to study in depth the
attitudes of students and teachers, as well as the educational materials and practices in the
classroom, was established
