Queer Theology Revealed

from Church for LGBT - Open Table MCC - Philippines

So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them, and Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told them. When the eighth day came, it was time to circumcise the child, and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Luke 2:16-21 (NRSVUE) Ano ba ang Queer Theology? Sa pinakasimple nitong paliwanag, ang Queer Theology ay isang paraan ng pag-unawa sa Diyos, pananampalataya, at teolohiya mula sa perspektibo ng mga taong matagal nang nasa laylayan — lalo na ang LGBTQ+ community. Hindi ito simpleng pagdagdag ng bagong label sa teolohiya. Sa halip, ito ay isang paanyaya na tanungin ang mga matagal nang itinuturing na “normal,” “natural,” o “tanging tama” sa loob ng pananampalataya. Queer Theology asks: Sino ang may boses sa teolohiya? Kaninong karanasan ang itinuturing na mahalaga? At sino ang matagal nang hindi naririnig? Teolohiya Mula sa Karanasan Sa tradisyunal na teolohiya, kadalasan ang boses na nangingibabaw ay: lalaki heterosexual nasa kapangyarihan bahagi ng dominanteng kultura Ngunit sa Queer Theology, nagsisimula tayo sa karanasan ng mga taong matagal nang isinantabi — mga taong sinabihang hindi sila kabilang, hindi sila banal, o hindi sila sapat. Dito, ang karanasan ng pagiging queer ay hindi hadlang sa pananampalataya. Ito ay nagiging daan upang mas malalim na maunawaan ang Diyos. Pagbawi sa Salitang “Queer” Ang salitang queer ay minsang ginamit bilang insulto. Ngunit sa paglipas ng panahon, ito ay binawi at ginawang simbolo ng: pagtutol sa mapanupil na pamantayan pagtanggap sa pagkakaiba pagdiriwang ng identidad Sa konteksto ng teolohiya, ang pagiging “queer” ay hindi lamang tungkol sa sekswalidad o kasarian. Ito ay tumutukoy sa anumang pananaw na: humahamon sa nakasanayang sistema naglalantad ng hindi pagkakapantay-pantay nagbibigay-boses sa mga nasa laylayan Ang Diyos sa Gilid, Hindi Lang sa Gitna Isa sa pinakamahalagang paalala ng Queer Theology ay ito: Ang Diyos ay hindi lamang matatagpuan sa sentro ng kapangyarihan — kundi sa gilid, kasama ng mga itinulak palayo. Makikita natin ito sa maraming kuwento ng pananampalataya: sa mga itinaboy ng lipunan sa mga itinuturing na “makasalanan” sa mga walang lugar sa templo Sa mga kuwentong ito, ang banal ay hindi natatakot sa pagkakaiba. Sa halip, doon ito namumukadkad. Isang Paanyaya, Hindi Isang Banta Para sa ilan, ang Queer Theology ay tila pagbabanta sa tradisyon. Ngunit para sa marami, ito ay paanyaya: na palawakin ang ating pag-unawa sa pag-ibig ng Diyos na kilalanin ang dignidad ng bawat tao na gawing mas makatarungan ang ating pananampalataya Hindi nito sinisira ang pananampalataya. Sa halip, tinatanong nito kung paano tayo magiging mas tapat sa mensahe ng pag-ibig, katarungan, at awa. Sa Huli Ang Queer Theology ay hindi lamang teorya. Ito ay buhay na karanasan ng mga taong patuloy na naghahanap ng lugar sa loob ng pananampalataya — at natutuklasan na ang Diyos ay matagal na nilang kasama. Ito ay paalala na ang pag-ibig ng Diyos ay hindi limitado ng ating mga kahon. At marahil, ang tanong ay hindi kung may lugar ba ang queer sa teolohiya — kundi kung handa ba ang teolohiya na kilalanin ang Diyos na matagal nang kumikilos sa gilid.
