In the last two decades, the LGBT movement has gained momentum that
is arguably unprecedented in speed and suddenness when compared to
other human rights movements. This book investigates the recent
history of this transnational movement in Europe, focusing on the
diffusion of the norms it champions and the overarching question of
why, despite similar international pressures, the trajectories of
socio-legal recognition for LGBT minorities are so different across
states. The book makes the case that a politics of visibility has
engendered the interactions between movements and states that
empower marginalized people - mobilizing actors to demand change,
influencing the spread of new legal standards, and weaving new
ideas into the fabrics of societies. It documents how this process
of 'coming out' empowers marginalized social groups by moving them
to the center of political debate and public recognition and making
it possible for them to obtain rights to which they have due claim.
