CHAPTER 1
There are three things many people do not discuss candidly with strangers
or mere acquaintances: God, sex, and politics. Such things they prefer to
keep private. But these can easily become topics of fierce debate, particu-
larly when taken together (cf. Bos and Derks 2016). In public discourses
in varying national contexts, for example, religion and homosexuality are
increasingly seen as each other’s antitheses. One can observe this in public
debates about same-sex marriage legislation, the 2017 Nashville State-
ment by the evangelical Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood,
the Vatican’s criticism of “gender ideology,” or Vladimir Putin’s ban on
“gay propaganda,” as well as in the repeatedly asserted claim that the
respective views of Western (white) citizens and (Muslim) immigrants
on (homo)sexuality and gender equality are essentially incompatible. In
M. Derks (B)

“gender ideology” has been developed in a Europe that denies its Chris-
tian identity; Putin considers “gay propaganda” a European threat to
Russian values; and debates about Islam and (homo)sexuality have been
transformed and intensified with the recent problematization of migrants
in Europe originally from Muslim-majority countries in North Africa and
the Middle East. These shifts indicate that the ways in which religion and
homosexuality are related in different contexts are strongly connected to
a struggle over the definition of a “proper” European identity. According
to the Pew Research Center (2018), “for most people living in the
former Eastern bloc, being Christian (whether Catholic or Orthodox) is
an important component of their national identity. In Western Europe,
by contrast, most people don’t feel that religion is a major part of their
national identity.” Moreover,
The many European states that have introduced same-sex marriage legis-
lation believe that they are setting an example for other nations or
continents, not only when it comes to secularization, as Grace Davie
has argued in Europe: The Exceptional Case (Davie 2002), but also
when it comes to homosexuality or sexual diversity (e.g., Ayoub 2016;
Slootmaeckers et al. 2016). This discourse of a “homoinclusive Europe”
(Kulpa 2014) can also be found in the dynamics of the European Union:
taking a “progressive” stance on homosexuality or sexual diversity and
having solidified this juridically has become an important criterion for the
possible admission of new member states, while it also has a critical func-
tion toward existing central and eastern European member states. This
volume, therefore, focuses on Europe, yet this focus is not only geograph-
ical but also conceptual. What interests us is how constructions of a
European identity function as objects of positive or negative identifica-
tion in public discourses about homosexuality and religion in a particular
context. For example, how do anti-Europeanist right-wing nationalists or
Euro-skeptic left-wing globalists relate to LGBTI emancipation agendas?
What is the discursive role of religion, particular religions, or secularism
