This research aims to analyze the recognition, or not, of the non-straight expressions in the religious field and the extension of the access to the public rites of ordination am matrimony in the Brazilian Christianism, particularly on the Anglicanism. I’ve been following the debates through the performed ethnography an I think the ways to rebuild this conflicted process which culminated in one more rupture in the Catedral Anglicana da Santíssima Trindade in the beginning of the 2017. Carrara (2015), from the understanding from Weeks (1989), comprehend the clashes for legitimacy and legalization of the LGBT groups through the Law (RIOS 2013, 2018a, 2018b) reconfigure the operation of the device of sexuality of Foucault (1988), establishing a new secular regime of sexuality. Thus, the intervention of the State, particularly of the Brazilian Judiciary, evokes a process of effectuation of the citizenship of the LGBT population, and different religious answers has been configured.
