The author shows the complex interplay between the advocacy for inclusion of homosexuals, on the one hand, and queer theory, which, as a product of postmodernism, seeks to question heteronormativity as such, as a historical and cultural system. Based on the material of various works, mainly by American authors, the paper further examines the place of queer theology, which, relying on the general queer theory, tries to rethink the foundations of the Christian message in a more inclusive spirit.
