| Sumario: | This article aims to describe and analyze the discursive performance of a group of leaders and ministries that composed the recently extinct interdenominational organization Exodus Brazil, whose work was traditionally justified by the supposed objective of bringing emotional relief to christian people in conflict with homosexuality, through religious conversion. Based on digital monitoring and discursive analysis of theological and political postures, having the government of Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) as a backdrop, the aim is to analyze the representations about homosexuality constructed on the digital networks Facebook and Instagram, to prove the hypothesis that they are configured in expressions of religious homophobia, whose social visibility was favored by the broader context of political conservatism experienced by the country in recent years. Under such emphasis, the results achieved add theoretical and empirical elements to the discussion about the transit between religion and politics in Brazil, led by new actors and their strategies of action. |
