PULECIO, MAURICIO. When Oliver kissed another boy, his best friend, Dick. Literary languages and violent language directed at LGBT youth in the school system. CS [online]. 2015, n.15, pp.18-39. ISSN 2011-0324. https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i15.1986.

Also, some literary pieces are studied, especially those from the poet and novelist Fernando Molano Vargas (1961-1998). The inclusion of his works in educational curricula is advocated. Literary language is opposed to hate language, to express ways to resist the latter that are able to legitimate non-heterosexual affects
