Abstract
This article will examine and challenge the ways in which religious and sexually diverse identities are constructed as oppositional and further regulated as such within policy and legislation. Although focused on Canada, this discussion has international resonance where religion and sexual orientation debates and education policies are also a central focus of controversy. Within these rigid identity assumptions, reinforced through public and legal discourses, is the repeated notion that there is an inherent conflict or competition between religious identities and sexual identities. This assumed ‘clash’ often requires individuals to repress aspects of their identities, not as a result of an internal struggle, but as a response to external social norms.
