Abstract

ABSTRACT The European Union is often seen as a bulwark of progressive values, including LGBTI rights. By restricting such rights, politicians thus appear to reject the EU’s fundamental principles. This paper argues, however, that anti-gender politics is often a surprisingly pro-European phenomenon. Many of its practitioners rebuff accusations of Euroskepticism. For them, rights restrictions are less an attempt to reject European integration than to redirect its trajectory. They aim to reconnect the EU with Europe’s civilizational roots. The paper illustrates this argument by analyzing the discourse actors have used to justify anti-gender policies in three countries: Hungary, Lithuania, and Slovakia.

欧洲路线还是改道?东欧反性别政治的文明使命

欧盟经常被视为进步价值观的堡垒，包括LGBTI权利。通过限制这些权利，政客们似乎拒绝了欧盟的基本原则。然而，本文认为，反性别政治往往是一种令人惊讶的亲欧现象。它的许多实践者拒绝接受欧洲怀疑主义的指责。对他们来说，权利限制与其说是试图拒绝欧洲一体化，不如说是试图改变其轨迹。他们的目标是将欧盟与欧洲的文明根源重新联系起来。本文通过分析匈牙利、立陶宛和斯洛伐克这三个国家的反性别政策的正当性话语来说明这一观点。
