Abstract
This chapter examines the discursive mechanism of drawing comparisons between antisemitism and homophobia in Polish (Catholic) culture that were popular among the left and liberal opinion makers in the mid/late 2000s. It questions the problematic nature of the analogies made between homophobia and antisemitism as corollaries of national identity. The intention is not to present homophobia in Poland as a form of revitalized, modern-day antisemitism, nor to deny possibilities of thinking about the two in relation to each other; instead, the chapter ponders the implications to be accounted for when using analogies and comparisons. As an alternative, an intersectional approach is suggested as perhaps better-tailored an approach in making sense of the complex entanglements and ever-changing social processes of national (dis)identifications.
