Religious minority and sexual diversity: the holistic approach

This article aims to investigate the relation between the religious minority status and LGBT rights in international and European law. Three phases are singled out: exclusion, inclusion and holistic experimentation. As sexual and human minority rights were originally not counted among fundamental freedoms, the gradual inclusion of sexual diversity is observed first with a focus on the new concept of “sexual minority” and then in the United Nations’ holistic approach to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB).
