This chapter delves into the complex journey of sexual citizenship in Slovakia since 1989, highlighting the struggles and progress of LGBTQ rights amidst political and societal challenges. It explores the interplay of activism, political homophobia, and democratic institutions, providing a comprehensive analysis of Slovakia's unique political and cultural context. The chapter examines the influence of the Catholic Church and the legacy of communism, as well as the strategies and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ activists. It also discusses the broader trends of political homophobia and democratic backsliding in the region, offering insights into the future of LGBTQ rights in Slovakia.
