Instrumentally Inclusive: The Political Psychology of Homonationalism

“…7 This nationalization of liberal sexual values as "Western" alongside an archetypal association non-Western ethnic out-groups as inimically threatening to these values is not without irony. Much of the institutional rejection of homosexuality, including present-day prohibitions on same-sex sexual activity, alongside social intolerance toward LGBT+ individuals across the globe is the product of the colonial-era reforms (Gontijo, Arisi, and Fernandes 2021;Han and O'Mahoney 2018;Semugoma, Nemande, and Baral 2012;Vanita 2013 ; Victor and Sommer 2016). 8 A similar distinction between LGB and T+ support among rightwing voters can also be observed. In the United Kingdom, e.g., while the electoral constituents of parties on the left and right have coalesced in increased tolerance of LGB citizens, a similar convergence has not been observed in the case of the rights of the transgender community (Turnbull-Dugarte and McMillan 2022).…”

“…Despite its own muddied history in the advancement of LGBT+ rights-including, most notably, the colonial imposition of westernized penal codes that criminalized homosexuality (Gontijo, Arisi, and Fernandes 2021;Han and O'Mahoney 2018;Semugoma, Nemande, and Baral 2012;Vanita 2013)-many liberal democracies in the West appear to have "nationalized" such liberal values (Laegaard 2007) as an integral part of their national identity. Just as some states reject (liberal) international norms of tolerance toward homosexuality as a "foreign" threat to their national identity and cultural way of life (Ayoub 2014;Kurar and Paternotte 2017) against which anticipatory defensive measures are often taken (Mos 2020;Nuñez Mietz and Iommi 2017), other states have engaged in the mirror opposite and adopted liberal tolerance of sexual minorities and those with diverse gender identities as inherent to their national identities and a core signal of their membership of the "West" (Ayoub 2015;Jones and Subotic 2011) and sense of western belonging (Baker 2017).…”

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—the arts as a vehicle for knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) in public health during a pandemic: a realist-informed developmental evaluation research protocol

“…We are aware that the colonial legacy has profoundly transformed the relationship of Indigenous communities in Peru with the concept of gender from a conception that includes a third gender with a sacred role to a binary conception. 80 In Peru, people who identify with diverse gender identities experience various forms of violence, 81 82 which makes the process of accepting their own identity difficult. 82 We will increase awareness of gender diversity and inclusive practices among all members of the research team.…”

Corpo, sexo e gênero: alternativas heterotópicas transmodernas para um mundo melhor

“…Puri (2004), retomando as obras de pesquisadoras/es que analisaram a relação entre Estado e sexualidade, percebeu a recorrência do tema do controle efetuado pelo Estado sobre os mais diversos aspectos da vida privada, ao delimitar os contornos -variáveis -das ditas "sexualidades respeitáveis". Por se tratar de invenção ocidental, o conceito de identidade sexual, segundo Vanita (2002), ganhou o mundo através do expansionismo europeu com significados particulares a cada contexto cultural, em razão das configurações locais das relações de poder definidoras dos regimes de verdade, dispositivos biopolíticos e mecanismos institucionais e ideológicos de controle social dos corpos que determinam localmente o que é "normal" e o que é "abjeto" e que instituem e reforçam as desigualdades de gênero, classe, raça, etc -em breve, em razão das formas locais da colonialidade/ imperialidade do poder/saber/ser (Ballestrín, 2017;Gontijo, 2018bGontijo, , 2021.…”
