Riepilogo:The field of Queer Theology can be enhanced by qualitative research on queer lived experiences. The present article addresses this through exploratory observations. The authors examine how two queer pastors (amen_aber_sexy and @tovja_behuetet) express queer issues on Instagram, interact with Christian tradition, and engage in Queer Theology. Within the scope of this article, Instagram emerges as a productive space for lived Queer Theology based on Felix Stalder’s principle of referentiality.
Der Forschungsbereich Queere Theologie kann von qualitativer Forschung zu queeren Lebenswelten profitieren. Der vorliegende Artikel setzt hier an und bietet erste explorative Beobachtungen. Die Autor:innen untersuchen, wie zwei queere Pastor:innen (amen_aber_sexy und @tovja_behuetet) queere Anliegen auf Instagram thematisieren, mit der christlichen Tradition interagieren und queere Theologie treiben. Im Rahmen dieses Artikels erweist sich Instagram als produktiver Ort für gelebte queere Theologie auf der Grundlage von Felix Stalders Prinzip der Referentialität.
