A teologia Queer: uma nova perspectiva cristã sobre a diversidade sexual como desmantelamento da ficção heteronormativa legitimada pelo direito brasileiro

Abstract

The presente work resulted arises as a resulto f more than 20 years o daily experience whith Christian churces (traditional, baptists and neo-pentecostals), onserving how the contradictory coexistence between pulpit speeches andthe high frequency of sexual diversities in the interiors and ministries of the church was possible. The incessante Search for the christian god and the anguish of not being able to experience their “de-christianized”, non-hterosexualsexualities, within the church, in a public away, fostered disputes between religious freedom of expression and sexual freedom of expression., both regulated by the internacional human rights law. This dispute is more pronounced between the gay Community, which defends the rigth to their public and multiple expressions of sexuality and gender,and the christian relious communities, which say They fight for their right to free expression. Of their moral dogmas,among them, that the Family should follow the tradicional reproductive model. This work seeks to question some assumptions about how the hegemonic christian religion imposes a specific sexual pattern and, consequently, delimits the freedom of any variations of bodily desire and pleasure and how this is legitimized under brasilian law. This is a study on one of the possibilities for the construction of heterosseality in Brazil: that it was thought, shaped and maintained, ultil today, by christianity and how it was sanctioned by our law. In this scope, what is proposed is the exposition of the constitution of the heteronormative model, in the surroundings of life from the influence of christianity, in the factual framework of then religious colonization suffered by the country, as well as its desconstruction from a theological proposal that allows the dismantling of binary sexuality, a heteroisexual fiction, that protects religious freedom and sexual freedom, simultaneously. As the law Only endorses christian morallity, butdoes not lend itself to carrying out a hermeneutics on it, before normalizing it, especially on the subject of sexuality,this desconstruction must be supported by theology itself, however, fromm Other theological perspectives. For this, the presente thesis discusses questions that envolve three importantes colmns: 1) the introjection of original heterosexuality by the christian religion in the brasilian political and legal scenario, contributing the law to its legitimation, since, as we will see, it is almost entirely constituted for that christian morality; 2) if its undoing is possible through na alternative biblical hermeneutic on the texts that indicate the heterossexual life as the Only possible one for those who believe, in na attempt to re-signify sexuality and gender with a view to demystifying the inviolability of heterossexual life as divine commandment e 3) wheter theology itself can give us a deconstructive theological path to support this hermeneutic proposal and reread these texts, illuminanting the way we perceive nonheterosexual sexualities. As a proposal to this apparent impasse, i turn to the Queer Theology of Marcella Althaus- Reid, which queerizes the christian god and can be a highly effective lanterna on the proposal of re-reading the textsof Levíticos 18, Deuteronomy 23 and Romans 1, in order to review, under a new veil, a predominantly christian culture, like that of Brazil. In this scenario, it is assumed here, as na epistemological horizon in the conclusion broughtby the last chapter, the task of revisitng christian binary sexuality, through the provocative theological insigts of Marcella Althaus-Reid, in the perspective of reflecting on a Queer Theology that, from on the Other hand, it representes a new christian perspective on sexual diversity and, on the Other hand, it repsents a contribution on the dismantling of the heteronormative fiction promoted by ecclesiological centers and their institutional leaders.
