Introduction – Here versus There: Beyond comparison in queer and sexuality politics
This special issue explores the simplification of common narratives that have developed in the wake of changing sexual and gender politics in the early part of the 21st Century into binarised narratives of a ‘here’ where sexual politics are ‘sorted’ and a ‘there’ which must ‘catch up’. In this introduction, we reflect on the challenges of attending to the historical, material, political and legal forces that give ‘here’ and ‘there’ geopolitical, …
Refusing the present to affirm the unknown future: After LGBTIQ rights in global queer politics
This paper draws upon recent developments in international LGBTIQ rights law and activism to show how time and temporality are central to the growing international recognition of (and backlash to) sexual orientation and gender identity rights claims. Focusing on the manifestation of these temporal debates within the international backlash to the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014, the paper asks how we might think queer futures differently. It e…
Intersex Activism, Medical Power/Knowledge and the Scalar Limitations of the United Nations
This article considers the extent to which human rights mechanisms can ameliorate intersex rights at a sub-national, or medico-local, level. It engages with both intersex activism and the academy where the United Nations (UN) has become understood as a key mechanism through which to challenge day-to-day practices of healthcare practitioners and bring an end to nontherapeutic surgical and hormonal interventions on intersex infants and children. Us…
Listening intently’ to LGBTQI Lives: Diplomatic narratives of listening and hearing in LGBTQI rights
This paper examines how public diplomatic practices of listening operate within unequal and often chaotic transnational spaces. In analysing transnational listening, the paper distinguishes between interpersonal and state based listening and argues that states – as polyvocal, multiscalar assemblages - listen differently to individuals. In particular, while interpersonal listening retains the possibility of openness, uncertainty and being moved un…
Senthorun Sunil Raj: Feeling Queer Jurisprudence: Injury, Intimacy, Identity
Here Versus There: Creating British Sexual Politics Elsewhere
This reflection draws upon two recent ‘moments’ in British sexuality politics—a series of Parliamentary debates on Global LGBT rights and Brighton Pride’s campaign to ‘Highlight Global LGBT Communities’. It contrasts these two moments in order to demonstrate how, at a time when LGBT rights have ostensibly been ‘won’ in the UK, there is an increasing tendency to shift focus to the persecution of SOGI minorities elsewhere in the world. This shift i…
Encountering the Past: Grand Narratives, Fragmented Histories and LGBTI Rights ‘Progress’
Past and future coalesce in discussions of LGBTI rights, often embedded in narratives of progress, civilisation, colonisation and emancipation. An understanding of these dynamics can help to illuminate the complex power relations that currently striate international LGBTI rights discourses. This paper analyses how temporality operates in the context of international LGBTI rights through an examination of the World Bank’s withdrawal of a $90 milli…
Making Different Differences: Representation and Rights in Sexuality Activism
Constituting sexuality: Rights, politics and power in the gay rights movement
Human rights and sexuality are both complex, contested productions, the subject of much debate in the arenas in which they are deployed. In spite of this, the language of human rights is increasingly used in relation to sexual identity and LGBT issues, and rights have become a powerful means through which claims relating to sexuality and sexual orientation are made. Some campaigners have celebrated the linking of rights language with that of sexu…
