Abstract
The objective is to characterize the scientific production regarding the religious/spiritual experience among lesbians, gays, and bisexuals (LGBs) from an integrative literature review, both national and international, from 2005 to 2015. The authors reviewed data from SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, IndexPsi, PsycINFO, PUBMED, and E-journals. Therefore, they identified and analyzed 58 articles that took into account the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The main categories of qualitative analysis relate to integration between religiousness/spirituality and homosexuality, and religiousness /spirituality as a risk and/or protection factor for GLBs, internalized homonegativity, and therapeutic context. The studies highlight the contribution to the national literature scene, as well as the importance of religion/spirituality in the life of LGBs.
