Abstract
Equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people have increasingly been flagged up as the ‘main story’ in current western debates about sexual citizenzhip.1 Gay marriage in particular has emerged as the central civil rights cause for western and international LGBT lobbying groups and organisations.2 Strategies based on claims to rights and visibility for gay people have assumed an international dimension, and their increasing deployment on a global scale has been seen as evidence of ‘queer globalisation’.3 This chapter interrogates notions of sexual citizenship politics from a non-western perspective by looking at debates over sexual citizenship rights and visibility in the Russian Federation.
