Deep dives
The Absence of Queer Identity in Conservative Religion
Conservative high-control religions often ignore queer identity and expression in their ideologies around sex and gender. This absence is notable in their teachings, where discussions about gender or sexuality rarely address queer perspectives, leading to a culture where queerness is fundamentally absent. As a result, individuals who identify as queer find themselves erased from the conversation, reinforcing a belief that queer identities are simply deviant. The lack of recognition for queer identities ultimately contributes to negative repercussions, including violence against the LGBTQ+ community.
