现有的对Santería的学术分析要么将其描述为因其等级限制而仇视同性恋者，要么将其描述为“性少数群体”的最终解放空间。与此同时，由于上述描述，在Santería，对同性恋恐惧症的复杂使用往往被忽视。本文探讨了植根于白人/同性恋的同性恋恐惧症的结构，以及颜色的社区如何再现同性恋恐惧症的叙述。然后，它分析了同性恋恐惧症的指控与日常经验和一组美国Santeros之间的意见-其中许多人是美国少数民族。我承认，国家认同和民族种族背景是Santería从业者相互指控同性恋恐惧症的关键因素。这一论点对圣玛丽亚崇拜空间的研究、民族和种族研究以及更广泛的性行为都有影响。
Existing academic analyses of Santería portray it either as homophobic because of its hierarchical restrictions, or as the ultimate liberatory space for `sexual minorities'. Meanwhile, complicated uses of homophobia circulate in Santería in ways often overlooked because of these aforementioned portrayals. This article examines constructions of homophobia as rooted in Whiteness/gayness, and how communities of color reproduce homophobia narratives. It then analyzes the charges of homophobia in relation to the everyday experiences and views among a group of US Santeros — many of whom are US ethno-racial minorities. I posit that national identity and ethno-racial background are key elements used by Santería practitioners in charging each other with homophobia. This argument has implications for the study of Santería spaces of worship, ethnic and racial studies, and sexualities more broadly.
