Does religion protect or harm LGBTQ people? New review weighs evidence
Original: (hpd.de) Religion und LGBTQ: Was entscheidet, ob Glaube schützt oder schadet? 2. October 2026 Ist Religion für LGBTQ-Per
A review of 50 studies published on hpd.de examines whether religion is more a risk or a protection for LGBTQ people. The analysis concludes that simple answers fall short: outcomes depend largely on how religious identity and sexual or gender identity interact for each person, making context decisive rather than faith itself.
Why now: The review challenges the common assumption that religion is uniformly harmful or helpful to LGBTQ people, prompting debate.
