女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、双性人和酷儿（LGBTIQ）的人的尊严在非洲大陆受到侵犯。LGBTIQ人的性取向、性别认同、表达和性特征被视为非非洲人。宗教团体是侵犯LGBTIQ人群人格尊严的最大肇事者之一。在过去的15年里，南非联合改革教会（URCSA）做出了政策决定，并汇编了研究文件，设想LGBTIQ人的SOGIESC。URCSA多次未能确认LGBTQ人群的全面包容。在这篇文章中，我问，在URCSA中承认LGBTIQ机构是否是一个不雅的建议。本文的神学基础是已故拉丁美洲双性恋神学家Marcella Althaus-Reid的Bi/Christology。从我自己的同性恋自传开始，我在做神学时从下到外定位自己。第二，我简短地介绍了URCSA的历史和Belhar信条的忏悔条款。最后，本文探讨了Belhar是否提出了在URCSA中承认LGBTIQ机构的不雅建议。
The human dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people are threatend on the African continent. The sexual orientation, gender identity, expressions and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) of LGBTIQ persons are seen as un-African. Religious communities are one of the biggest perpetrators that violate the human dignity of LGBTIQ people. For the past fifteen years the Uniting Reformed Church in South African (URCSA) made policy decions and compiled research documents that envistigates the SOGIESC of LGBTIQ people. The URCSA failed multiple times to affirm the full inclusion of LGBTQ people. In this article I’m asking, whether the recognition of LGBTIQ bodies in the URCSA is an indecent proposal. This paper is theologically underpinned by late Latin-American bisexual theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid’s Bi/Christology. Starting with my own queer autobiography, I position myself from below and outside in doing theology. Secondly, I engage shortly with the history of the URCSA and the confessional clauses of the Belhar Confession. Lastly, the paper examines whether Belhar makes an indecent proposal for the recognition of LGBTIQ bodies in the URCSA.
