Abstract

Abstract: Human sexuality has been and continues to be the subject of great clashes and theological disputes in the
field of Christianity, mainly, sexualities that are considered “deviants”. While the structures of traditional Christian
theology, either by a set of practices or by their discourse, exclude sexual and gender dissidents or strive to adapt
them to what was defined as the standard, that is, cisheteronormativity, Queer Theology, on the margin of
traditional theology, seeks to recognize LGBTQI+ identities, enabling sexual minorities to express their identities
and exercise their spirituality. This article thus presents an approach to Queer Theology from the community
experience of the Inclusive Christian Community of Salvador (COCIS), which develops, in addition to the inclusion
of sexual minorities in its space for celebration, the proposal of a liberating spirituality.
Keywords: Queer Theology. Christianity. LGBTQI+.
