peer-reviewed ; As legal structures for same-sex relationships are introduced in many contexts, the politics of sexuality are negotiated along religious/secular lines. Religious and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBT-Q) rights are pitted against one another such that LGBT-Q lives often assumed to be secular. Schools are crucibles of intermingling religious, secular and equality discourses and this complexity is carefully negotiated by LGBT-Q teachers in their everyday lives. Drawing on a study with LGB teachers as they entered into a Civil Partnership in Ireland (a legal structure in place for five years prior to enactment of Marriage Equality in 2015), this paper captures a 'structure of feeling' – new cultural work done as sexuality norms were in a state of flux. The teachers' accounts unravel the religious/secular binary and provide insight of universal interest into the ambivalent, messy ways in which the politics of sexuality are (re)negotiated across the overlapping social fields of religion and education. ; ACCEPTED ; peer-reviewed

Desde el 11-S el discurso del "choque de civilizaciones" ha jugado un papel importante en la conformación de los asuntos mundiales, y ha llevado a una codificación del islam como negación de la modernidad secular y de la democracia liberal. En este contexto, han sido varias las respuestas a la urgente necesidad de luchar contra el terrorismo: "la exportación de la democracia mediante la guerra y la ocupación", para unos, y el llamamiento a una "gobernanza democrática global" como base para la coexistencia entre diferentes culturas y civilizaciones, para otros. El presente artículo se orienta hacia esta última opción proponiendo el caso de Turquía como ejemplo paradigmático de una "modernidad alternativa" que ha experimentado, aunque no sin dificultades, la coexistencia del islam con la modernidad y la democracia ; After September 11th the discourse of the "clash of civilizations" has played a key role in global issues. Besides, as a consequence of this discourse, Islam has been catalogued as the negation of secular modernity and liberal democracy. In this context, several solutions have been sought in order to fight against global terrorism: either "exporting democracy through war and occupation", on the one hand, or claiming for a "global democratic governance" as the foundation for the coexistence among different cultures and civilizations, on the other. This article follows this last option and presents Turkey as a paradigmatic example of an "alternative modernity" which has experienced, even if with historical difficulties, the coexistence of Islam with democracy and modernity
