Abstract
This article analyzes the deployment of gender ideology in Colombia, based on two episodes that reveal the scope and strategies of conservative religious and political activism: protests against a pedagogical material designed to combat homophobia and transphobia in schools, and the popular endorsement of the Peace Agreement between the government and the FARC guerrillas. It proposes to understand the gender ideology beyond the religious sphere, in its moral and ethical dimensions, and in connection with politics. It argues that this object serves as support for projects of nation and citizenship building, in which fear shapes the figures of the people and their other: gender ideologues.
