This article reflects on the biases in sexual and gender diversity policies in relation to the axis of cultural and religious diversity in Catalonia (Spain), where these policies have experienced an enormous boost since 2014. The paper aims to analyse the articulation between the experiences of queer migrants from Muslim backgrounds living in Catalonia and the LGBT and intercultural policies. Based on interviews both with queer migrants and people involved in developing public policies, we analyse how these two axes intersect. The approach of policies is mainly monofocal and assimilationist, failing to acknowledge the hybridity of queer migrant experiences. However, we also find examples of policy programmes that adopt an intersectional perspective and embrace hybridity by advancing more inclusive LGBT equality policies. The conclusions highlight two axes of tensions that have emerged in the analysis of the policies: the construction of the figure of the queer person from a Muslim background and the role of the state regarding sexual and gender diversity.

Resumo: No Governo Collor, o Programa Nacional de Desestatização (PND), cujos eixos encontram-se no texto do projeto apresentado pelo presidente em seu discurso no Congresso no dia 15/03/1990, assume envergadura distinta dos governos anteriores. Constituiu-se em peça fundamental para a redefinição da atuação do Estado e instrumento de redução da dá­vida pública. As empresas selecionadas estavam localizadas em setores que representavam a base da estrutura industrial, como a siderurgia, a petroquá­mica e a produção de fertilizantes. Esse artigo propõe-se a investigar o processo de estruturação da privatização no Brasil, a partir da posse do então Presidente Fernando Collor de Mello em 1990, aqui considerada como uma das mais importantes reformas estruturais que marcaram a adesão do governo brasileiro ao ideário neoliberal como principal linha condutora das polá­ticas públicas. Para tal, toma como objeto de investigação não só nova a legislação que passou a regulamentar as privatizações como também os fundamentos do projeto privatista, seus órgãos reguladores, seus objetivos e suas realizações.

Central Claim

This article argues a theological case for “principled pluralism,” a particular stance regarding the proper attitude of the state towards the plural religious affiliations of its citizens. Its central claim is that the role of the state is both to defend the religious freedom of adherents to all faiths and to maintain a public square equally open to contributions from all faiths without publicly privileging any faith, even Christianity. It develops the argument in critical dialogue with a “Christian nation” position, according to which nations can exercise corporate religious agency, should be formed where possible according to Christian principles, and in which Christian citizens should call their governments to support the nation’s Christian character.
