In 2020, the European Commission adopted an LGBTIQ Equality Strategy 2020-2025 “addressing the inequalities and challenges affecting LGBTIQ people, in order to move towards a Union of Equality''. The EU strategy is one of the results of the "Europeanisation" of and through LGBTIQ+ rights, enhanced by the Recommendation 2010/5 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on measures to combat discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity. From 2010 onwards, LGBTIQ+ equality policies have been entering the institutional agendas in all the EU countries, gaining visibility and triggering protests in the public sphere and within institutions. Nevertheless, the variation in the trajectories of LGBTIQ+ policies in the EU27 and the reasons behind this situation have received little attention in the emerging literature on LGBTIQ+ equality policies. To fill this gap, this panel includes a number of papers adopting both quantitative and qualitative methods to cover the multidimensionality of factors which might explain the variation in the LGBTIQ+ policies’ adoption at EU member state level and, in particular, in Southern Europe. Special attention will be paid to Italy from a comparative perspective, as it represents an interesting case study presenting a critical configuration regarding the intensification of LGBTIQ+ policy agendas, the emergence of strongly politicised anti-LGBTIQ+ movements, and a sharpening of conflicts within the institutional arena.
