Trends of Homophobic Activism in Romania, or ‘How to Turn Religious Convictions into a Referendum and Still Fail’

Abstract [en]

In recent years, right-wing discourses in Romania have been progressively constructed through nationalistic and homophobic voice pipes, triggering reactions from LGBT+ community and their allies. I frame these recent developments within a history of LGBT+ issues in post-1989 Romania—from changes in legislation to protests, public declarations, alliances, to the implication of the Orthodox Church and other cults. Since 2016, heated debates around changing the Constitution and the right to enter a civil partnership lead to a referendum. Although the referendum failed, the media campaigns leading to it arguably represented a tool for right-wing groups to strengthen their agendas and further polarize society. In this chapter, I analyze their main discursive strategies and trace the patterns reflected in both offline and online mediums as well as how these were countered by LGBT+ communities and other grassroots initiatives.
