The present doctoral thesis is a reflection on intersexuality in the face of the complexity of the Brazilian religious system markedly Christian. In this reflection diverse questions are raised, involving sexualities considered peripheral to the patriarchal system. These peripheral sexualities enter into political and academic debate, whether through the feminist movement, the LGBTQIA + collective, or the queer theory. The struggle for political rights in these segments has met with strong resistance from conservative sectors. In this sense a system reactive to the achievements of women, of the LGBTQIA + collectives, is identified in religions. The religions provide support to conservative sectors, which are organized in the institutional political scenario, intercepting advances in the area of human rights and enactment of the laity of the state. This research aims to provide subsidies to understand the increase in intolerance in Brazil, a country with high rates of fatal violence on LGBTQIA + collectives and on women, according to data presented in the thesis. At the same time, it also seeks to reshape the Brazilian cultural system from its peripheral position, with strong postcolonialist traits, in the face of the central European and North American neoliberal system
