Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo acercarse al misticismo sanjuanista desde una perspectiva queer. No es una apología monolítica a las personas queer, ni un tratado sobre interpretación mística, sino un esfuerzo por reconocer y validar la experiencia espiritual de las personas LGBTIQ+. Toma algunos pasajes místicos de San Juan de la Cruz que ayudan a leer la experiencia de la vida queer en clave mística. Con ello, se manifiesta el potencial del misticismo para combatir esas ideologías fóbicas, segregadoras e injustas que maltratan a tantas personas por su orientación sexual y disidencia de identidad de género. Aunque es problemático, hablar de esto es un acto de justicia epistémica, sociocultural y religiosa.
