Abstract

Since1990, the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI)-identified people have been expanded throughout Europe. This socio-legal change has influenced and been influenced by the legally binding and soft-law decisions of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights as well as transnational movements that have linked LGBTI activists across borders. The story of Europe’s march towards LGBTI tolerance, however, hides the diversity of how this change has occurred and the contemporary spaces available for sexual minorities across European countries. The papers of this panel, which are based on newly-published or forthcoming books, shed light on contemporary notions of European sexual citizenship and its many, still diverse, forms. In addition to presenting new research on LGBTI politics in Central and Eastern Europe (Ayoub; Slootmaeckers), the papers contrast the experiences of different LGBTI identities (Ammaturo) as well as how sexuality interacts with other identity categories such as religion and race (Stella). Together the papers examine how activists create and seek to make visible sexual identities to further new political agendas in European countries.
