Tensions in the struggle for sexual minority rights in Europe,
newly available in paperback, is the first queer and
poststructuralist reading of political rights concepts in the
specific European transnational context. In the last thirty years
Europe has seen the rise of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
movements fighting nationally and transnationally for participation
rights in society. In addition academic theorists have increasingly
paid attention to the epistemological and ontological roles gender
and sexuality play in modern politics. However, in the political
process of arguing for rights the centrality of those roles is
mostly hidden from view in official institutional and movement
discourses. This book investigates the conceptual themes of
lesbian, gay and transgender rights and lobby politics in Europe
and their open and hidden relations to binary and hierarchical
orders of dominance. It contributes to an understanding of the
conditions upon which politics of inclusion, participation, social
justice and equality rest and why struggles for sexual minority
rights have been so difficult and slow. It illuminates how the
paradigms of political discourse constitute, consolidate and
contest the meaning and cultural significance of gender and
sexuality on modern, democratic, capitalist European societies. --
