The approaches involving gender and sexuality are increasingly connected to geographic analysis. Spaces such as urban and religious, are pointed in social relationships of groups excluded of the heteronormative society, as homosexuals, travestis, transexuais, among others. Given this, the research aims to relate gender studies, sexuality and religion in the geographic perspective, highlighting, mainly, discourse analysis of transvestite and transsexual subjects that integrate the space of Afro-Brazilian and African origin cults yards. A priori, gender, sexuality and religion are themes little discussed in geography and are specially connected to the marginal studies of science. However, with the current expansion and demonstration of different gender expressions, and demonstrations of religious nature in space, geographic science, allied to social sciences, follow the track of society in this temporality, becoming an interdisciplinary and plural science. Parallel to this, the phenomenology may be a way to comprehend the relationship between the transvestite and transsexual subject with the space in which they live and establishes different interpersonal relationships. In this sense, as results in/or research impacts, we have the systematization of information connected to the thematic of study with the intent to provide theoretical and pratical subsides about the feminist and queer themes, together with the matter of religiosity, highlighting mainly Afro-Brazilian and African roots religions as possible spaces to different expressions of gender and sexuality relationships.
