Estudos sobre Diversidade Sexual e Religião

A temática da “diversidade sexual”, introduzida pelos movimentos sociais do final do século XX, como uma expressão da questão social nas sociedades contemporâneas, tem provocado um (re)posicionamento no âmbito jurídico, científico, religioso, familiar, assim como nas políticas de governo. Nesse sentido, verifica-se uma luta pelo reconhecimento sócio-jurídico das demandas do movimento LGBT e, em especial, pela legitimidade e aceitação social dos integrantes deste movimento em todos os âmbitos da vida social.
