Abstract
This dissertation ethnographically examines Pentecostal igrejas inclusivas (inclusive churches) and the everyday intimacies of queer Pentecostal life. It argues that the intersection of queer and Pentecostal is not one of contradistinction but of possibility for imagining otherwise the intimacies and affects that shape minoritarian life. By tracking queer Pentecostal intimacies in spaces of friendship, kinship, imagination, conversation, dreams, and migrant and diasporic life, the dissertation illustrates the importance of intimacy and the minor in animating contemporary queer world-making projects, especially those that do not necessarily announce themselves as legible interventions into the political.
