Drawing from over a decade of fieldwork and over 240 interviews with LGBTI, anti-LGBTI, and various state and IO actors, this book explores how the conservative transnational movement functions, in terms of who comprises it and how its agenda is constructed. It argues that these resistances have employed in the last decade many of the same transnational tools that garnered LGBTI people their widespread recognition. They also conform to the boomerang and spiral models of human rights diffusion, but in a process we reconceive as a double helix. As the double-helix metaphor suggests, rival TANs have a reciprocal relationship, having to navigate each other’s presence in an interactive space. In other words, both those who seek the advancement of LGBTI rights and those who oppose them use related strategies and instruments for mutually exclusive ends.
