This paper´s main purpose was to analyse textbooks used in religious studies in Sweden in upper secondary education to see how LGBTQ persons and information about norm breaking sexual identities is emphasized in these textbooks. To obtain that information a context analysis was used and five books were used during this specific analysis.The theoretical foundation of the analysis was based on queer theory and norm critical theory with an focus on norm critical pedagogy which was used to highlight, criticize and understand the previous research that has been done and give wider perspective when it comes to the text in the textbooks.What the analysis shows is that even if there is some information in the textbooks about LGBTQ people there is not enough information to execute a norm critical educational lesson and to achieve the central content of the course Religionskunskap 1 in upper secondary education in Sweden. There are huge varieties of information in the textbooks and usuallythey are under chapters such as ”marriage”, ”sexuality” and often not discussed in the context of religion and only as sexuality as a whole.
