Trans and Queer Latin American Theologies

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of Latin American queer theologies in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. It begins by highlighting Althaus-Reid’s significant contributions and his impact on the development of queer theologies in the region. Key ideas from the first generation of queer theologians who collaborated with Althaus-Reid are emphasized. The chapter then explores the second generation of queer liberation theologians in Latin America, drawing on each author’s theological work to illustrate the progression of queer theological thought. Finally, it addresses emerging issues within trans-queer theologies, offering insights into their development and significance within the broader context of Latin American queer theology.
