This article reports on a study that examined how religious discourses of inclusion and exclusion-in Roman Catholic, evangelical Protestant, and Afro-Brazilian religious traditions-affected people's rights to express same-sex sexual desires, behaviors, and identities in the socioeconomically marginalized urban periphery of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Using extended ethnographic observation of institutions and religious events over a period of 2 years, the authors identified how sexual rights were constructed within religious discourses and conducted ethnographic interviews with 45 religious leaders. In the low-income and violent urban periphery of Rio de Janeiro, religious leaders and institutions play key roles in molding community inclusion and exclusion. A comparison of the 3 major religious denominations shows a diversity of discourses about same-sex sexual desires and their impacts on community formation.
本文报道了一项研究，该研究考察了罗马天主教、福音派新教和非洲裔巴西宗教传统中的包容与排斥宗教话语，是如何在巴西里约热内卢社会经济边缘化的城市边缘地区影响人们表达同性性欲望、性行为和身份认同的权利的。作者通过对机构和宗教活动进行为期两年的扩展人种志观察，确定了宗教话语中如何构建性权利，并对45位宗教领袖进行了人种志访谈。在里约热内卢低收入且暴力频发的城市边缘地区，宗教领袖和机构在塑造社区包容与排斥方面发挥着关键作用。对这三大主要宗教派别的比较显示，关于同性性欲望及其对社区形成的影响存在多种话语。
