Globalization, Religion and Sexuality: Plus ça change?

Although difficult to capture all changes and current experiences regarding religion and sexuality across the globe, this article provides a survey of the ways these two categories intersect across multiple nations at a specific moment in time. In this article, I consider the assumptions that are embedded in public notions about religion and sexuality in relationship to one another in global context (and public policies across nations). I reflect on the ways religion and sexual diversity are framed as inherently in combat, the reasons for this continual framing and the gaps that are often overlooked between policy and identity experiences.
