N2  - In 2016, Colombian's government was trying to endorse a peace agreement with one of the country's guerrillas by popular vote. At that time, a public controversy arose over issues of sex and gender. At first, it seemed like a fragile attempt by conservative communities to maintain a determined moral order. However, these controversies increased, and the term gender ideology began to be used by some politics and religious leaders who supported the "No" to the plebiscite. Many things had been said about the public emergence of the term gender ideology and its relationship with the plebiscite for peace in Colombia. Even so, I think it is important to reflect on the relationship between emotions, morals, and the construction of the public. I try to show that some homophobic positions see the other not as an opposite, but as a "needy". Putting the lens on this issue will allow us to think about the motivations that some leaders of conservative activism would have, beyond perceiving their social movements exclusively as political strategies. The article is divided into six sections. In the first part, I will review the concepts of emotion and moral. After, I will tell two tales: the story of Nerú Martínez, a faithful believer in the neo-Pentecostal church El Lugar de Su Presencia, who claims to have left homosexuality to meet God and be happy. And Sergio Urrego, a 16-year-old boy, who committed suicide due to discrimination suffered at his school. In the fourth and fifth sections I conceptualize the term gender ideology based on previous researches and the voices of Catholics and Christians. Finally, in the last section, I explore some theoretical paths, supporting me, and discussing the previous reflections on the subject © 2022.
