espanolLa relacion entre religion y otras disidencias de sexo y genero suelen desarrollarse de manera compleja en muchas sociedades. El discurso religioso condena y persigue a la comunidad LGBTIQ+ e incluso les niega el acceso a sus espacios y narrativas. En la India, donde religion y rituales se integran incluso en las dinamicas costumbristas, las identidades religiosas no pueden entenderse sin otros factores como casta o clase. India es, ante todo, una region con cientos de religiones, lo que se traduce en multiples identidades, que, a veces, se solapan o confrontan. En este contexto se mueve nuestro trabajo, que busca analizar el documental Sab Rab De Bande (Todos Somos Hijos de Dios) (2020), producido y dirigido por Sukhdeep Singh, para acercarnos a los desafios que afronta la comunidad Sikh LGBTIQ+ en India al intentar reconciliar sus identidades religiosas y sexuales. Nuestros resultados parten de la interseccionalidad, lo que nos permite indagar en la colision de estructuras e interacciones de estas trenzas identitarias. EnglishReligion and non-heterosexual and gender identifications have a complex relationship in most societies. The religious discourse in most communities condemns the LGBTIQ+ community and even deny them to access and practice their religious experiences/practices. In India, where religion and rituals are embedded in daily practices, religious identity can rarely be disassociated from other identities and added factor like caste and social class. India is if anything saturated with hundreds of religions which translates into multiple identities, sometimes overlapped and in confliction with each other. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the documentary Sab Rab De Bande (We’re all God’s Creation) (2020) produced and directed by Sukhdeep Singh to highlight the challenges that the queer Sikhs in India face when reconciling their religious identity with gender identities and sexual orientations. The corpus of this analysis sheds light on intersectionality, which allows us to see the collision of structures and the simultaneous interaction of identity avenues.
