A critical look at the rise of 'heteroactivism', and how today's anti-LGBT activism is becoming more transnational and sophisticated.'This chilling and original study offers a timely analysis of contemporary resistances to LGBT equalities across three national English-speaking settings. Attentive to nuance and geopolitical specificity, it shows how growing opposition to LGBT equalities cannot simply be understood as homo or transphobia. Instead, heteroactivists claim that state-sponsored LGBT inclusion in the 21st is a threat to democracy, free speech and Christian heteronormativity. A welcome contribution to the urgently needed and growing field of research on contemporary anti-gender movements, this book provides concepts, methods and questions of relevance beyond the English-speaking global North.
