title: Invisible Europeans: sexual citizenship in the new Europe.
abstract: "In this paper I consider issues of transnational sexual citizenship. I examine the issue of international migration of lesbians and gay men.  For lesbian and gay prospective migrants, obtaining citizenship rights is difficult owing to the laws affording status being based on bloodlines and marriage. This immediately excludes lesbian and gay relationships, which are generally not recognised for the purpose of obtaining rights of residence. I explore these issues in the context of the different policies towards the migration of lesbians and gay men in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom."
