Europe and the European Union are unavoidable, if ambiguous,
political references in the post-Yugoslav space. This volume
interrogates the forms and implications of the increasingly potent
symbolic nexus that has developed between non-heterosexual
sexualities, LGBT activism(s) and Europeanisation(s) in all of the
Yugoslav successor states. Contributors to this book show how the
long EU accession process disseminates discursive tools employed in
LGBT activist struggles for human rights and equality. This creates
a linkage between "Europeanness" and "gay emancipation" which
elevates certain forms of gay activist engagement and perhaps also
non-heterosexuality, more generally, to a measure of democracy,
progress and modernity. At the same time, it relegates practices of
intolerance to the LGBT community to the status of non-European
primitivist Other who is inevitably positioned in the patriarchal
past that should be left behind. >
