“…However, public service motivation does not fully distinguish between public service and nonprofit employment (Mann, 2006). Nonprofit organizations benefit the LGBT community by affording access to resources (Andrucki & Elder, 2007), job creation (Dose, 2002), and providing service and support to people with HIV/AIDS (cf. The nonprofit sector plays an important role in the policy formulation process by encouraging political engagement, policy research and advocacy, and service delivery (Vaughan & Arsenault, 2008).…”

As a stigmatized group, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) individuals are vulnerable to employment discrimination and receive little legal protection. They have had to cope with discrimination and engage in identity management to conceal their sexual identity. This study seeks to determine whether LGBT individuals, in anticipation of discrimination, have lower initial career expectations, espouse more altruistic work values, and make career choices based on those work values, when compared to heterosexual individuals. Using data from a large survey of postsecondary students, we found that LGBT individuals, after controlling for age, visible minority status, and major of study, reported lower salary expectations than heterosexual individuals.LGBT individuals were also more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to espouse "altruistic" work values and to indicate a career choice in the nonprofit sector. We suggest that "altruism" may be an important work value that is related to a career choice in the public and nonprofit sectors.

“…On the one hand, social media and LGBT organisations do serve as mediums of aid, as has been shown previously. On the other hand, these are laden with values, norms and expectations tied to state institutions (Andrucki & Elder, 2007) to which queer refugees cannot always adhere. While some navigate well in the sexual world of giving and taking, not all agree that it is acceptable to use sexual acts as payment for help.…”

Homemaking and perpetual liminality among queer refugees

As people continue to flee repressive regimes, discussions of refugees' state of liminality have intensified. Refugee camps and detention centres tend to force refugees to endure living in liminality for long periods of time. Taking fleeing as a point of departure, this study suggests a change from the notion of fleeing as movement to a search for home and homemaking. This understanding shifts the analysis away from state-controlled spaces to a wider consideration of spaces of importance for homemaking. Widening the discussion on liminality to homemaking indicates that liminality can be experienced in a variety of spaces. Using material from interviews with queer refugees in the Swedish countryside, I discuss their travels, displacements and homemaking. Their stories show that creating a home is a continuous process delimited by norms in families, ethnic networks, host societies and queer networks. Not adhering to these norms renders homemaking difficult and pushes some queer refugees to liminal spaces. Thus, I suggest an understanding of some queer refugees as constantly rejected and pushed into a perpetual state of liminal homemaking. An analysis that illuminates refugees' displacements from belonging moves discussions of liminality away from statecontrolled spaces and highlights the norms that govern the homemaking process. Faire son chez-soi et liminalité perpétuelle chez les réfugiés queer RÉSUMÉ Alors que les peuples ne cessent de fuir les régimes répressifs, les débats sur l'état de liminalité des réfugiés se sont intensifiés. Les camps de réfugiés et centres de détention ont tendance à forcer les réfugiés à endurer un état de vie liminaire pendant de longues périodes. Prenant comme point de départ la notion de fuite, cette étude suggère de penser la fuite non comme mouvement mais comme quête d'un chez-soi. Cette interprétation fait glisser l'analyse au-delà de la question des espaces contrôlés par l'État vers une considération des espaces importants pour la fabrique d'un chez-soi. Élargir la discussion sur la liminalité à la fabrique d'un chez-soi signifie que la liminalité peut être vécue au travers une variété d'espaces.

“…Estou pensando aqui, em particular, em Queeruption (BROWN, 2007a;2007b;VANELSLANDER, 2007), encontro internacional (mais ou menos) anual de ativistas anarco-queers, onde é criado um espaço temporário autônomo, dentro do qual os participantes podem compartilhar habilidades e redes de contato que inspirem ainda mais experimentações autônomas nas respectivas comunidades de origem. Na mesma linha, também se poderia pensar sobre a proliferação de festivais Ladyfest, que celebram a produção musical amadora e a criatividade das mulheres (SPENCER, 2005), ou santuários Radical Faerie, onde homens gays se reúnem para celebrar e experimentar sua espiritualidade (ANDRUCKI & ELDER, 2007;HERRING, 2007). A partilha e a dádiva de competências, afetos e conhecimentos são fundamentais para todos estes locais, uma vez que buscam, conscientemente, oferecer uma alternativa mais coletiva e comunitária à vida urbana gay e prefiguram modos de vida pós-capitalistas.…”

This paper performatively decentres the role of mainstream gay consumption in contemporary thought about the economic and social lives of lesbians and gay men in the Global North. It is simultaneously critical and reparative in outlook. This paper critically engages with writing on homonormativity from the last decade, suggesting that this work presents`homonormativity' as an all-encompassing structure that becomes politically unassailable. In parallel with an analysis of contemporary lesbian and gay life as being complicit in the reproduction of various normativities, this paper takes the innovative and reparative stance of considering how such spaces and practices also produce interdependent relationships across social difference. Drawing on the work of Gibson-Graham (2006, 'A Postcapitalist Politics', University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, MN) this paper considers the prospects for outlining the diversity of lesbian and gay economic practices, with the performative ambition of making existing noncapitalist practices more visible and viable. To this end, the paper examines a number of gay spaces and practices to consider the different forms of enterprise, transactions, and labour that take place within them. On the basis of its preliminary inventory of diverse gay economic practices and spaces, this paper proposes that there are many aspects of contemporary urban gay life that already offer alternatives to the homonormative practices of neoliberalism.Keywords: Homonormativity; Economy; Gay. Resumo AbstractEste artigo performativamente descentra o papel do consumo gay nas correntes do pensamento contemporâneo sobre a vida econômica e social de lésbicas e gays no Norte Global. É ao mesmo tempo crítico e reparador nessa perspectiva. Este trabalho engaja-se criticamente com as obras da década passada sobre a homonormatividade, sugerindo que estes trabalhos apresentam a 'homonormatividade' como uma estrutura por demais abrangente e que se torna politicamente incontestável. Em paralelo com a análise contemporânea de como as vidas lésbicas e gays se tornam cúmplices na reprodução de diversas normatividades, este artigo assume a posição inovadora e reparadora de se considerar como tais espaços e práticas também produzem relações interdependentes entre diferenças sociais. Com base na obra de Julie Graham e Katherine Gibson, publicada em 2006, 'A Postcapitalist Politics', este artigo considera tais perspectivas para delinear a diversidade de práticas econômicas de lésbicas e gays, com a ambição performativa de fazer práticas não capitalistas existentes mais visíveis e viáveis. Para este fim, o artigo examina um número de espaços e práticas gays para analisar os diferentes formatos de empreendimentos, transações e trabalho que ocorrem dentro destas. Com base em um inventário preliminar das diversas práticas econômicas e espaços gays, este trabalho propõe que já existem muitos aspectos da vida gay urbana e contemporânea que já oferecem alternativas às práticas homonormativas do neoliberalismo Palavras -chave: Homonor...
