“It Just Always Seemed Like it Wasn't a Big Deal, Yet I Know for Some People They Really Struggle with It”: LGBT Religious Identities in Context

Abstract: Scholarly examinations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) religious identities have typically focused on “identity reconciliation,” which assumes that being both LGBT and religious is a “contradiction,” and posits a “coherent” identity as a desired end goal. The present research draws on a qualitative study of three LGBT‐identified congregations to demonstrate that there are a variety of ways in which LGBT religious people approach the connection between their LGBT identity and their religion.

“…Conflict frame research is informed by insights from studies on the psychological well‐being of religious LGBTQ+ persons: Affiliation with religious traditions that stigmatize homosexuality and nonnormative gender identities is associated with diminished mental health outcomes such as depression and increased risk for suicide (Ganzevoort et al. 2011; Rodriguez and Ouellette 2000), while relationships with other LGBTQ+ persons of faith, membership in an accepting congregation, and disaffiliation can lessen or buffer these negative effects (Coley 2018; Fuist 2016; Wedow et al. 2017).…”

“…2016; Whitehead 2014), though some conservative religious communities are shifting (Moon and Tobin 2018; Moon, Tobin, and Sumerau 2019 on U.S. Evangelical Christianity; Radojcic 2016 on Catholics). These research agendas are connected because context matters: attitudes on LGBTQ+ issues (at the local/congregation level, or at the national level) shape the experiences, perceptions of self, well‐being, and identity management strategies of LGBTQ+ persons of faith (Barton 2012; Coley 2018; Fuist 2016; Hamdi, Lachheb, and Anderson 2018; Izienicki 2017; Kugle 2013; Shah 2017; Woodell, Kayzak, and Compton 2015).…”

“…Como señalan Montenegro y Renold (2007), los límites entre lo que se entiende como "religioso" y "espiritual" son cada vez más permeables y fluidos. Se considera la religión como un "hacer" -doing religion frame-(Orit Avishai, 2008;Fuist, 2016) en el marco de una construcción identitaria que se encuentra en movimiento.…”

“…Desde perspectivas decoloniales (Mahmood, 2005) como desde la teoría performativa también se ha cuestionado el binarismo con el que la academia ha comprendido la agencia de las mujeres dentro de las religiones tradicionales, restringiéndola a las alternativas de sumisión o subversión a la norma religiosa. De esta manera proponen comprender cómo las mujeres "hacen religión" (Avishai, 2008), lo que no siempre se explica por procesos de negociación y reconciliación de identidades (Fuist, 2016).…”

“…El punto que me interesa destacar es que la relación entre la religión de pertenencia y la visiones sobre la sexualidad, la reproducción y los embriones in vitro no siempre son directas sino que existe cierta autonomía interpretativa de las personas sobre lo religioso 7 . Esto supone comprender la complejidad de las identificaciones y prácticas religiosas como advierten diferentes autores de este campo de estudio que no siempre entran en conflicto con las prácticas reproductivas [8][9][10][11] . Lo mismo ha sido destacado a partir de las encuestas realizadas sobre creencias religiosas en Argentina, que reflejan posiciones heterogéneas entre sobre la sexualidad y la reproducción en personas identificadas con una religión de pertenencia 12 .…”
