“…Entretanto, mais da metade dxs entrevistadxs referiram serem agnósticxs, sendo 8 teístas e 1 ateísta, que pode estar relacionada à necessidade de apoio espiritual, desvinculado de dogma religioso e uma forma individual de conectividade com Deus (Kashubeck-West et al, 2017;Legerski & Harker, 2018).…”

Objetivo: Descrever o impacto das relações sociofamiliares na construção da personalidade das pessoas transexuais. Metodologia: Pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa, utilizou o método Narrativa de vida, realizada no período de 2016 a 2019, com 19 participantes transexuais e 14 familiares. Os dados foram coletados por entrevista narrativa, realizou-se a análise compreensiva de Daniel Bertaux e adotou o referencial teórico de Michel Foucault. Resultados: Evidenciou-se que a família e outras instituições sociais reproduzem e afirmam dogmas normatizadores e produzem ações de disciplina e controle sobre os corpos das pessoas transexuais durante o processo de amadurecimento, a fim de coagir a vivência das identidades de gênero. As relações intersubjetivas fortes aparecem como uma possibilidade de inversão dessa rejeição a aceitação da transexualidade. Conclusão: A aceitação sociofamiliar é um desafio para a aceitação e inclusão social das pessoas transexuais pela família e demais segmentos sociais.

“…Straddling these complicated identity lines is often stressful and harmful, particularly for marginalized groups. In the United States, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer Mormons who reject the label of their sexual identity tend to be more religious than those who do not, but they are less comfortable with the lived experiences of their sexuality (Lefevor et al 2020; also see Legerski and Harker 2018). At a U.S. Catholic university, gay and lesbian students often find themselves doubting either their religious or sexuality identity (or both), except in cases where they find support and accessible narratives to integrate and accept both (Wedow et al 2017).…”

This article sets forth a critical integrative review of the study of gender, sexuality, and religion. Treating religion as a cause, an effect, and an intermediary factor in relation to gender and sexuality, it draws on and synthesizes multiple theoretical approaches including gender and queer lenses on religion, cultural analysis, and intersectionality. The article is structured around ten big-picture questions about gender, sexuality, and religion and argues that gender and sexuality are a key symbolic boundary and cultural divide in religious and political life in the United States and around the world. It concludes with an agenda for future research.

“…How sexual minorities from conservative religious backgrounds experience each of these facets—and not only sexual identity—may affect their choice of single/relationship option. Indeed, the degree to which individuals experience sexual attraction to women and men may affect their likelihood of being satisfied in an SSR or MOR (Legerski & Harker, 2017; Legerski et al, 2017). Preference for male or female partners may be governed not only by individuals’ sexual attraction but also by the presence or lack of sexual aversion (Beckstead, 2012; Dehlin, Galliher, Legerski, Harker, & Dehlin, 2019).…”

“…Family bonds and expectations within conservative religions can be strong and frequently value heteronormative conceptions of family (i.e., husband, wife, and children). The expectations placed on an individual by their family of origin and by their cultural norms, including the individual’s desire for a heteronormative family, may lead some sexual minorities to enter MORs (Legerski et al, 2017). Other sexual minorities may reject heteronormative conceptions of family in favor of SSRs, stronger networks of friends who are thought of as a family of creation, or both (Riggle, Rostosky, & Horne, 2010).…”

Sexual minorities raised conservatively religious often make relationship decisions in a context of conflicting needs and expectations. We examined group differences in a sample of 452 sexual minorities who were equally satisfied in 1 of 4 single/relationship options to promote self-determination and to understand how each group might differ from the others. Single and celibate individuals more often reported homonegative beliefs, religiousness, sex negativity, and conservative values. Single but not celibate individuals more often reported a stronger sex drive, sex positivity, homopositive beliefs, nonreligiousness, and liberal values. Those in mixed-orientation relationships more often reported a bisexual orientation, homonegative beliefs, children being important, fears of disappointing family, religiousness, and conservative values. Those in same-sex relationships more often reported strong same-sex orientation, sex positivity, homopositive beliefs, nonreligiousness, and liberal values. These findings indicate characteristics of individuals satisfied in each option that may provide a needed reference group for therapists to help clients explore selfdetermination in making life decisions.
