Diego Galego, "Queering Public Policy: A Disruptive Yet Inclusive Framework for Policymaking" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2026)

For years, LGBTQ+ policies worldwide have been crafted based on

heteronormative views, needs, and practices. However, this has gradually

changed over the last two decades as LGBTQ+ individuals have become key

players in the development of gender-based policies. Diego Galego's Queering Public Policy: A Disruptive Yet Inclusive Framework for Policymaking

(Palgrave Macmillan, 2026) examines these political and social changes,

evaluates how actors have successfully integrated LGBTQ+ needs into the

mainstream policy agenda, and provides a comprehensive guide to

understanding the policymaking processes from an LGBTQ+ perspective.

Drawing on data from Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and the USA, it

presents a systematic framework for understanding "queering public

policy" as a policy process. The final chapter offers a roadmap for

scholars interested in exploring this evolving field further. This book
