The article general purpose is to contribute to the discussion on the relationship between religion and politics, by considering the new challenges opened by sexuality irruption in the public sphere.

Among our findings, we emphasize the pluralism within the catholic and evangelical fields and the discourse complexity of religious actors in their political interventions.
