No Human Right to Sodomy: The Christian Right and SOGI Human Rights

In recent years, the US government and the US Christian conservative movement have been at odds over sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) human rights, while US policy supports SOGI human rights, the Christian Right opposes these human rights and works to undermine their institutionalization around the world. In this talk, I examine the Christian Right case against SOGI human rights, as well as some of its hidden dimensions and internal contradictions.

Cynthia Burack is professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio State University.
