Abstract
VAGGIONE, Juan Marco. The politicization of sexuality and religious meanings. Soc. relig. [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.42, pp.209-226. ISSN 1853-7081.
This paper reflects about the different meanings of the religious that emerge from the debate on sexual and reproductive rights in LatinAmerica. In seeking to advance their agendas, the feminist and sexual diversity movements confront the influence of religions, especially the Catholic Church, and put different public intervention strategies in circulation. In particular, considering some strategies privileged by these movements, three types of policies are proposed: laïcisation of the state, des-imbrication of Law and pluralization of the religious. These policies make legible matrices of meanings that allow bringing closer the complex forms of articulation among sexualities and religions in the contemporary sexual politics
