“…These movements, therefore, further marginalized black women whose experiences as both black and woman were not advocated for or recognized within either movement. These identity politics can be seen today in the fight for marriage equality and related single-focus issues within the gay and lesbian movement (DeFilippis, 2018b; Hutchinson, 2001; Leachman, 2016).…”

“…Critics of the mainstream gay and lesbian movement have argued against the domination of the movement with “essentialist and single issue commitments” for more than a decade prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage (Hutchinson, 2001, p. 287; see also Nair, 2015) suggesting that single-issue causes such as marriage equality favor members of the community with relative privilege while ignoring those with intersecting levels of oppression. In recent years, critics illustrate how the methods and discourse used to gain marriage equality resulted in further marginalization and exclusion of the most marginalized queer and trans people (DeFilippis, 2018b; Leachman, 2016). In a volume dedicated to exploring activism after marriage equality (DeFilippis, Yarbrough, & Jones, 2018), queer and trans activists discussed the marriage equality movement and future activism (DeFilippis, 2018a).…”

“…In 2015, a U. S. Supreme Court ruled marriage was a fundamental right, thus legalizing marriage for same-sex couples in all 50 states and U. S. territories. While this represented a significant achievement in the gay and lesbian rights movement, much work remains undone and significant critiques of the movement exist (Balken, 2016; DeFilippis, 2018a). Historically, the gay and lesbian movement has focused largely on issues impacting white, gay, economically secure individuals (DeFilippis, 2018a, 2018b; DeFilippis, Anderson-Nathe, & Panichelli, 2015; Helm-Hernandez & DeFilippis, 2018; Hutchinson, 2001).…”

“…Moving forward, it is essential that queer and trans movements be informed by feminist intersectionality (DeFilippis et al, 2015). Intersectionality is a framework that can enable a queer and trans rights movement to shift away from a single-focus issue of equality toward issues affecting the more marginalized individuals within the queer and trans community with a focus on liberation (DeFilippis, 2018b; Helm-Hernandez & DeFilippis, 2018). It is important to note that we use the phrases “gay and lesbian” and “queer and trans” intentionally to represent the state of the movement.…”

Activism in Southwestern Queer and Trans Young Adults After the Marriage Equality Era

In 2015, marriage equality in the United States was a big win for the gay and lesbian movement. Marriage equality as a primary focus of the movement, however, was not without its critiques, particularly as an issue affecting mostly white, gay, economically secure individuals. Given the history of the movement, it is essential to ask what is next. Young queer and trans people represent the next generation of potential activists and advocates for queer and trans liberation, yet little empirical attention has been paid to their goals for the movement and motivations to be actively involved, particularly among young adults in rural, conservative states. Therefore, this study sought to understand the social, economic, and environmental issues deemed important by queer and trans young adults (aged 18–29), as well as their motivations to get involved in activism efforts. Data came from a mixed-methods program evaluation, which presents a picture of the issues and motivations that led study participants ( n = 65) toward activism in one conservative, highly rural, Southwestern state in the United States. The findings of this study are discussed in light of theoretical and empirical literature and then implications for the queer and trans movement, activists, and organizers are offered.

The coloniality of queer theory: The effects of “homonormativity” on transnational Taiwan’s path to equality

This study extends the “Queer” Asia s critique to deconstruct the coloniality of queer theory in transnational Taiwan. Focusing on Duggan’s critique of homonormativity, I used 22-months ethnographic data to examine its Taiwanese glocalization and influences on American scholars’ denigration of Taiwanese marriage equality campaigns. I argue that the glocalization of homonormativity theory has generated the disruption between queer theory and embodied experiences, falsely assumed the universalism of queer theory, and failed to recognize practices of diversifying families and resistance to neoliberalism. The homonormativity glocalization also produces “radical queer temporality” and Orientalist double standards that collude with imperialist epistemology. I conclude with strategies for a decolonial queer theory.

Capitol, just visitors from across the country taking in the iconic sights with an air of menacing joy. On the House floor, they rummaged through Members' desks and play-acted in the Speaker's chair. It was here that much of the world met the "shaman." Wearing a horned hat and a shit-eating grin, he was an online influencer among followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory. NORDDEUTSCHE NEUESTE NACHRICHTEN (Germany) Trump-Fans Stürmen KapitolThe convergence between these different styles of protest and different sets of protestors, if that is the word, was perhaps the most confusing element of all. Men in black, zip ties in hand, moved quietly among rowdy revelers on the House floor as they searched for elected officials to forcibly detain. The crowd's chants ranged from "Stop the Steal" to "Hang Mike Pence," and a noose on the Capitol lawn underlined the point. What emerged in the spectacle of that day was a coalition of groups united in the conviction that Donald Trump remained U.S. President, and that any means were justified in pursuit of that conviction. STRAITS TIMES (Singapore) Chinese media and netizens mock "beautiful sight" of US Capitol chaosIntertwined with the militias, white supremacists, and conspiracy theorists, that coalition included several different strands of mostly but not exclusively white conservatives. They were Christian nationalists and libertarians, rural farmers and suburban business-owners. FOREIGN POLICY The Jan. 6 Insurrectionists Aren't Who You Think They AreAnd they were police. Almost thirty off-duty officers from a dozen nationwide departments were identified as attending the pro-Trump rally that morning, and some were charged with participating in the subsequent assault. The Capitol Police suspended a half-dozen of its own officers and investigated several more for their actions that day. This overlap between law enforcement and militia movements was not new, but its implications were now bracingly clear. LE FIGARO (Paris) Démocratie fracturéeThe hard truth is that this was less an assault on legality itself than a battle between competing legalities. Despite all its violence -through all its violence -the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol was an attempt at what scholars of authoritarian legality call "rule by law," in which legal processes and institutions are used to instantiate and legitimize authoritarian rule. The assault intended to reconfigure a legal process, and its strategy was undergirded by legal
