This book provides a comparative, neo-institutionalist approach to the different factors impacting state adoption of or refusal to adopt same-sex marriage laws. The now twenty-one countries where lesbians and gay men can legally marry include recent or longstanding democracies, republics and parliamentary monarchies, and unitary and federal states. They all reflect different positions with respect to religion and the cultural foundations of the nation. Countries opposed to such legalization, and those having taken measures in recent years to legally reinforce the heterosexual fundaments of marriage, present a similar diversity. This diversity, in a globalized context where the idea of same-sex marriage has become integral to claims for LGBTI equality and indeed LGBTI human rights, gives rise to the following question: which factors contribute to institutionalizing same-sex marriage? The analytical framework used for exploring these factors in this book is neo-institutionalism.
This paper argues that current iterations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) rights are limited by an overreliance on particular representations of sexuality, in which homosexuality is defined negatively through a binary of homosexual/heterosexual. The limits of these representations are explored in order to unpick the possibility of engaging in a form of sexuality politics that is grounded in difference rather than in sameness or opposition. The paper seeks to respond to Braidotti's call for an "affirmative politics" that is open to forms of creative, future-oriented action and that might serve to answer some of the more common criticisms of current LGBTI rights activism.

This paper aims to analyze the process of organization of gay, lesbian,bisexual transvestite, transsexual, transgender and intersex identities (LGBTI)in San Salvador between 1992 and 2015. We identified four moments of thisprocess: 1) The "Gay Pride" represents the initial moment of organization inthe post-war period; 2) The "LGBTI" as result of the consolidation ofidentities; 3) The emergence of "Sexual Diversity" as a political player; and4) "Making a difference without being different" that represents restrictedsocial recognition. We used the concepts of sexual politics and symbolicactions for the analysis of each proposed historic moment. In conclusion, theLGBTI movement has promoted social questioning the binary patterns ofsexuality as well as the gender essentialism, through symbolic actions. Thesexual politics has focused on promoting the human rights of the LGBTpopulation.
My foreword to the book contextualises the 2017 Australian Marriage Postal Survey within a history of anti-LGBTI actions, politics and campaigns, positing a uniqueness of the Australian political and social environment in which the survey took place by reasons of unique historical timing. It then summarises the main themes and ideas represented by the book's contributors, as well as analysing the content of some chapters.
Three recent books are discussed which offer queer analyses of attempts to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people from violence and discrimination using the international human rights regime. A common theme is the way in which equal rights are invoked and institutionalised to address prejudice, discrimination and violence. The take, however, is critical: while it may be a remarkable turn of events that the United Nations (UN) and similar institutions have become LGBTI advocates, such Damascene conversions generate their own dilemmas and rarely resolve structural and conceptual paradoxes. This article foregrounds the curiosity of queer scholars engaged with the application of human rights to matters of sexuality and gender, observes how they articulate the paradoxes and dissatisfactions that are produced in this normatively and politically charged field, and draws out the limitations and complexities of rights politics in combating systemic exclusion.

El texto relata diversas experiencias de enseñanza, investigación y extensión del proyecto "Corpolítica: diálogos sobre género, sexualidad, raza y derechos con jóvenes en espacios urbanos periféricos en el Distrito Federal", que fueron construidas desde la perspectiva de una Colectiva LGBTI+ del mismo nombre. La reflexión central aborda las relaciones entre la experiencia de extensión de la colectiva, caracterizada por la interseccionalidad, y el poder heterocisnormativo en la Universidad. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, utiliza diversas estrategias: memoria compartida, análisis documental, entrevistas, etc. Propone la reflexión sobre el lugar marginal de esa producción y la imposibilidad de, efectivamente, ocupar las posiciones hegemónicas, lo que sugiere la utilización del término guerrilla. El texto interroga a los actuales modelos de extensión popular al demostrar que la extensión puede también reproducir dimensiones de poder de la matriz heterosexual (Judith Butler) o invertir en una sociabilidad afectiva de (de)construcción de las formas tradicionales de saber, siempre marcada por el lugar de precariedad de las involucradas y de lo efímero de las experiencias en los espacios universitarios.
O texto trata das relações entre a experiência de extensão de uma coletiva LGBTI+, caracterizada pela interseccionalidade, e o poder heterocisnormativo na universidade. Relata as experiências de ensino, pesquisa e extensão do Projeto "Corpolítica" que foram construídas desde a perspectiva de uma Coletiva LGBT de mesmo nome, criada na Universidade de Brasília (UnB) em 2014. Do ponto de vista metodológico, utiliza-se da memória compartilhada, da análise documental, entrevistas etc. Propõe a reflexão sobre o lugar marginal dessa produção e a impossibilidade de, efetivamente, ocupar as posições hegemônicas, sugerindo a utilização do termo "guerrilha" como categoría compreensiva dessas estratégias. Interroga os atuais modelos de Extensão Popular, ao demonstrar que a extensão pode também reproduzir dimensões de poder da "matriz heterossexual" (Judith Butler) ou investir numa sociabilidade afetiva de (des)construção das formas tradicionais de saber, sempre marcada pelo lugar de precariedade das sujeitas envolvidas e pela efemeridade das experiências nos espaços universitários. ; This paper addresses the teaching, research, and outreach experiences of an LGBTI+ collective's outreach project called "Corpolítica" (body politics), which was created in the University of Brasília (UnB) in 2014. The fundamental reflection analyses the cisgender and heteronormative power that structures the university, characterized by its intersectional approach. The methods used in this paper are: shared memory, document analysis, interviews, etc. The aim is to reflect on the peripheral space of this production and the impossibility of effectively occupy hegemonic positions, suggesting the use of the term "guerrilla" as a comprehensive category of those strategies. This paper also questions the current models of popular outreach, as it shows that outreach can also reproduce power dimensions of the "heterosexual matrix" (Judith Butler), or invest in an effective sociability of (de)construction of traditional forms of knowledge, always marked by the precarious situation of the subjects involved and the momentary experiences in the university sphere. ; El texto relata diversas experiencias de enseñanza, investigación y extensión del proyecto "Corpolítica: diálogos sobre género, sexualidad, raza y derechos con jóvenes en espacios urbanos periféricos en el Distrito Federal", que fueron construidas desde la perspectiva de una Colectiva LGBTI+ del mismo nombre.
