| Summary: | Anchored in gender and queer studies we aims to analyze the social labeling of homosexuality through in physical education practices at school. We present reports from six semi-structured interviews with young adults, who self-recognized as homosexuals, regarding their experiences in physical education classes. Non-heterosexual sexualities are stigmatized and framed in hierarchical relationships where young homosexuals are constantly targeted by prejudice and have their expressions of preference negated. Understanding physical behaviors from a dichotomous gender perspective, such as in sports, reiterates the cultural process that constructs masculinity and femininity, thus relegating homosexuality to the sphere of social "unintelligibility". |
