GRÄNSKONTROLL INIFRÅN: Hur Sverigedemokraterna villkorar svenskhet och medborgarskap genom homonationalism, könsnormer och välfärd

Abstract
This thesis analyzes how homonationalist and heteroactivist discourses are reproduced in the Sweden Democrats political communication between 2022 and 2025. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, the study examines a selection of key texts, including two Almedalen speeches by the party leader Jimmie Åkesson (2022, 2024), an extraction from a report produced by the party, and a parliamentary motion. The study is theoretically grounded in scholarship on homonationalism, heteroaktivism and populist radical right nationalism. It investigates how gender, sexuality and religion are discursively mobilized to define national belonging and construct boundaries between “us” and “the other”. The analysis identifies how LGBTQI rights are selectively embraced as symbols of Swedish values while simultaneously excluding queer subjects who do not conform to heteronormative and national norms. Particular attention is paid to how children, families, and schools are used to reproduce a moral order centered on whiteness, heterosexuality and cultural conformity. The study shows that SD combines traditional gender roles and family ideals with a strategic appropriation of liberal values, which enables the party to present itself as both modern and culturally protective. By analyzing recent material through a critical lens, this thesis contributes to existing scholarship by highlighting how right-wing nationalist discourses continue to adapt and reframe inclusion and exclusion in the context of sexuality.
