“…This is not surprising, because these parts of the population have received increasing attention and space within Pentecostal churches. These churches often provide an area for socialization and learning and offer various activities in which a young supporter can participate (Verona 2010(Verona , 2011. Moreover, the increase of Evangelicals is concentrated in specific regions.…”

“…However, some families were resistant to their children’s engagement in dance or gender and sexuality training. Jacqueline explained that parents understood activities of sexual education as encouraging children to ‘begin sexual activity’ and thus opposed with norms and moral orders mediated by religion (Verona, 2011). Roberta added that some families did not understand gender and sexuality as merely ‘unnecessary to discuss with the children’ but also that ‘learning about respecting others regarding homosexuality’ was translated by families as helping children to ‘become gay or lesbian’.…”

This paper critically explores how queer youth experience sport for development programmes in Brazil. Whilst the Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) field is not void of discussions that touch upon heteronormativity and sexuality, the ‘sensitive’ stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals within SDP initiatives remain rather unheard. Drawing on ethnographic methodology and queer theory, this paper aims to understand the impact of two different SDP programmes located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, that use sport to address sexuality and gender issues as part of their mission. The findings of this study indicate that delivery of sexuality-focused projects is a complex, problematic and contested process. Whilst the programme is conceived of as and committed to being LGBT-inclusive, the space is not completely void of heterosexism and homophobia. The queer lens here allowed for the revelation that whilst the SDP initiative provided a relatively supportive environment regarding the free expression of queer desires, it creates rather ‘safe(r)’ spaces, as the conventional norms of mainstream hetero-patriarchal society permeate these spaces. Furthermore, initiatives led to new means of exclusion and alienating experiences for its non-queer beneficiaries. Ultimately, raising the question of sexual diversity resulted in unexpected consequences outside the SDP space associated with misinterpretations, suspicions and a rejection of the initiatives. The conclusion consists of overall reflections regarding the use of the queer approach within SDP research and suggests possible directions for future studies of this topic.

“…The role of parents is to set rules and discipline for their children. Their closeness between parents and teens can create a feeling of mutual respect and love, while teenagers who are having tensions with parent against the other can lead to depression which can cause teens to find friends who are free and are sexually active, causing the affected teenagers to engage in sexual activity [17]. This is consistent with the results of in-depth interviews conducted on one of the teenage members of TWB which states that he is reluctant to commit sexual behavior in adolescents for fear of embarrassing parents in case of pregnancy.…”

<p>Teens today have experienced a shift in morality, thought and behavior patterns because they are influenced by foreign cultures. This is due to lack of progress, especially in the field of transport and telecommunications that are spreading globally at youth culture. Negative attitudes towards adolescent health, such as sexual activity also tend to increase. Turonggo Wiro Budoyo (TWB) Wirobrajan Yogyakarta youth association which is a group of teenagers in the field of traditional dance, <em>jathilan, </em>is identified as a group of young adults at risk of premarital sex. They almost have a close friend (dating) and have intercourse, which is interesting to explore. There are five teenagers who can maintain a healthy sexual behavior. The purpose of research is to know the description of personal factors and external factors that influence adolescents to be able to retain healthy sexual behavior in a risky environment in TWB Yogyakarta youth association. Based on in-depth interviews with five teenagers who declares themselves not dating and a group leader community of TWB, it was shown that an overview that affects teens still behave in a healthy sex despite being in a risky environment is an overview of personal where young people have the ability to hold back emotions, ideals and religiosity attitudes, while the picture of the external consists of a family function where parents do remind norms and religion as well as the ability of adolescents to maintain away from the influence of friends to behave deviate.</p>
