The research analyzed speeches about the withdrawal of the gender and sexual education debate in schools in the Escola Sem Partido and Con Mis Hijos No Te Metas movements, observing religious narratives’ role. We started from two great narrative strategies of control over sexuality indicated by Foucault (2015): 1) psychiatrization of perverse sexuality; 2) pedagogization of the child’s sex. As a result of the discourse analysis, we observed that the conservative Christian narrative present in the sample of people adept at the movements reinforces gender binarisms, emphasizing the biological body as divine and the cultural transformations as deviations, brings pathologizing discourse on non-traditional sexualities, and associates sexuality with morality, co-opting it to dominate religions. This narrative basis supports the relationship between religion, gender, and education in the two Latin movements.
