This collection considers how religious identity interplays with
other forms and contexts of identity, specifically those related to
sexual identity. It asks how these intersections are formed,
negotiated and resisted across time and places, including the UK,
Europe, North America, Australia, and the Global South. Questions
around 'queer' engagements in same-sex marriages, civil
partnerships and other practices (e.g. adoption) have created a
number of provoking stances and policy provisions - but what
remains unanswered is how people experience and situate themselves
within sometimes competing, or 'contradictory', moments as
'religious queers' who may be tasked with 'queering religion'.
Additionally, the presumed paradoxes of 'marriage', queer
sexuality, religion and youth combine to generate a noteworthy
generational absence. This leads to questions about where
'religious queers' reside, resist and relate experiences of
intersecting religious and sexual lives. In looking at
interconnectedness, this collection offers international
contributions which bridge the 'contradictions' in queering
religion and in making visible 'religious queers.' It provides
insight into older and younger people's understandings of
religiosity, queer cultures, and religious groups. A small but
active religious minority in the US has received much attention for
its anti-gay political activity; much less attention has been paid
to the more positive, supportive role that religious-based groups
play in e.g. providing housing, education and political advocacy
for queer youth. Queer methodologies and intersectional approaches
offer a lens both theoretically and methodologically to uncover the
salience of related social divisions and identities. This
collection is both innovative and sensitive to 'blended' identities
and their various enactments.
