Religious Education Undoing Heteronormativity: A Case Study of Christian Adolescents' Perceptions of LGBTQ+ Sexualities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Christiani, Tabita Kartika
Religious Education, v117 n3 p191-206 2022
This paper is based on a quantitative research study of Christian adolescents in junior and senior high schools, in 12 Protestant churches in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, concerning their perceptions about LGBTQ+ sexualities. Using a "normalcy" perspective from disability studies, the study finds heterosexuality is normative; other sexual orientations are recognized as abnormal. The study shows that female respondents, senior high school level respondents, and respondents with LGBTQ+ family members/close friends have more positive perceptions toward the LGBTQ+ community. Based on these results, there is a need to develop a Christian religious education that helps undo heteronormativity as the standard of normalcy.
