Opis

Have you ever wondered what happens to LGBTIQA+ people who congregate in churches? There are those for whom this question is meaningless. We live in a world of dualities that has taught us to believe that churches don't get along with dissenting sexualities. Nothing could be more false than that! The author takes up Gloria Anzaldúa and other representatives of Chicano Feminism to analyze the crossroads made by those who call themselves Christian and diverse. LGBTIQA+ believers are more than discriminatory experiences. They live lives that go beyond the expected, in their lives we find resistance, theological interpretations and spiritualities that make us question what we have always believed about Christianity. Throughout the following pages you will get to know the experiences of discrimination and resistance that LGBTIQA+ youth live in their churches. If you are interested in recognizing diversity within churches or if you have questioned your sexuality and spirituality, do not hesitate to open this book.
