It asks how these intersections are formed, negotiated and resisted across time and places, including the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, and the Global South. Questions around queer' engagements in same-sex marriages, civil partnerships and other practices (e.g. adoption) have created a number of provoking stances and policy provisions  but what remains unanswered is how people experience and situate themselves within sometimes competing, or contradictory', moments as religious queers' who may be tasked with queering religion'. Additionally, the presumed paradoxes of marriage', queer sexuality, religion and youth combine to generate a noteworthy generational absence. This leads to questions about where religious queers' reside, resist and relate experiences of intersecting religious and sexual lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn looking at \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The book sets itself the certainly difficult but fascinating task of combining what has been so far discussed as largely antagonistic categories – religion and sexual orientation. It does so eloquently, fulfilling a gap in the academic literature, as well as responding to a political and ethical need to engage with difference and intersections along the complex spectrum of identity.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e – Ana Cristina Santos, University of Coimbra, Portugal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The social and spatial accommodation of both religious and sexual identities has become a significant political flashpoint for societies and their governments in the contemporary West and beyond. This important collection addresses the intersections of religious and sexual identities for individuals, religious institutions, and socio-legal systems. Collectively, the chapters explore these intersections across a breadth of belief systems and geographical contexts. The authors ask vital questions about methodologies, institutions, locations and intersecting affirmations. This collection will be of interest to scholars, teachers, students and policy-makers concerned with understanding the varied landscapes, tensions and accommodations arising from the intersections of religion and sexuality.\" – \u003ci\u003eAndrew Gorman-Murray, University of Western Sydney, Australia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Outing Religion in LGBT Studies \u003cem\u003eJodi O'Brien \u003c\/em\u003eForeword 2: A Geographical Commentary \u003cem\u003eAndrew Gorman-Murray and Catherine J.
