Undressing Christianisms. Disproving hate Speech in Hegemonic Christianity from Cuir/Queer Positions

ABSTRACT

Hegemonic Christianity, the Catholic majority and the active presence of Pentecostals in the American continent have made us think that there is only one view about sex-gender diversity in Christianity, presenting it as a spontaneous and “natural” incompatibility; however, historically there is a series of dissidences for many reasons that propose other narratives, among them there are some that bet on the spiritual agency of people of sexual and gender diversity. Taking into account a descriptive perspective, ethnographic works from anthropology and theology will be taken into account to approach Christian narratives, both the hegemonic and some dissidents to present other ways of understanding Christianity and sex-gender dissidence from a theoretical and practical proposal; finally, alternatives of spiritual agency will be proposed as an alternative to Christian institutionality.
