Note(s) : "Law, Religion and Homosexuality provides a systematic and nuanced analysis of how
religion has shaped, and continues to shape, legislation that regulates the lives
of gay men and lesbians in the United Kingdom. Arguing that religion remains at the
heart of the relationship between law and homosexuality, the authors provide an in-depth
study of the considerable authority of religion in lawmaking. Through an examination
of how religious discourse influences the making of law in the form of official interventions
made by faith communities and organizations, as well as by expressions of faith by
individual legislators, the book shows how religion continues to be central to both
enabling and restricting the development of lesbian and gay legal equality. Whilst
some claim that faith has been marginalized in the legislative processes of contemporary
western societies, Johnson and Vanderbeck show the significant impact of religion
in a number of substantive legal areas relating to sexual orientation. Law, Religion
and Homosexuality demonstrates the dynamic interplay between law and religion in respect
of homosexuality and will be of considerable interest to a wide audience of academics,
policy makers and stakeholders"
