Religião e homossexualidade: o trânsito religioso de homossexuais entre igrejas tradicionais e inclusivas

Abstract

Western societies have faced significant changes with the rise of secularization, becoming increasingly decentralized from hegemonic institutional discourses. The subjects now have autonomy to elaborate their own senses of belonging and identity constructs, but, still, it is something recent, yet quite expressive. These constructs, until then coercive and elaborated from a centered ideological discursive positioning, go through several questions, especially those bodies that have experienced marginalization through discourse and performative policies: given that we are all crossed by language. This research is directed to a specific group that felt this marginalization and silencing, homosexuals, seeking to analyze the motivations social and theological, based of a theoretical-methodological referential Discourse Analysis proposed by Eni Orlandi, that provided the religious transit of male homosexual subjects between traditional and inclusive religious institutions. For this we go through some conceptual issues, such as masculinity, sexuality, affectivity, and identity constructions, so that we can continue with our analyses about homosexual performance in the modern West and its presence in the Brazilian neoprotestant movement. We therefore have an exploratory and investigative research associate with a bibliograph and ethnography study. What turned out, while the final considerations of the research, it is like the principal change happen in the religious field happened through biblical Hermeneutics, namely, a renovation in the Hermeneutics by these subjects that seek a new practice of the Christian faith, having the Liberation Theology as principal motto.
