abstract:What if the discursive and political recognition of queer liberation colludes with a nationalist agenda to produce a unified statehood? Postcolonial and transnational feminists have critiqued the political mobilization of GLBTQ rights within the context of nation-state modernity. The politics of queer inclusion and its institutional, normative production of subjects deemed to be (un)acceptable promote the modernity of progressive nations, but also justify state violations of sexual, religious, and ethnic minorities. This article examines Tomer Heymann's documentary film Paper Dolls and Arundhati Roy's novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness to articulate how the queer subjects in both texts play a role in and resist Israel's and India's optimization of Jewish and Hindu nations. I juxtapose the film and the novel to demonstrate that their focus on nonnormative, gender-variant subjects works differently: the film absorbs nationalist paradigms, whereas the novel critiques Hindu nationalism and anti-Muslim ideology. I argue that queer world-making intervenes in the paradoxical exercise of the recognition of queer rights in the service of the exclusionary policies of emerging nationalisms.
如果对酷儿解放的话语和政治承认与民族主义议程串通起来，以产生一个统一的国家地位，那会怎么样?后殖民主义和跨国女权主义者批评了民族国家现代性背景下GLBTQ权利的政治动员。酷儿包容的政治及其被认为是(不可)接受的主体的制度性、规范性生产促进了进步国家的现代性，但也为国家对性、宗教和少数民族的侵犯辩护。本文考察了Tomer Heymann的纪录片《Paper Dolls》和Arundhati Roy的小说《The Ministry of maximum Happiness》，以阐明这两个文本中的酷儿主题如何在以色列和印度对犹太和印度教国家的优化中发挥作用和抵制作用。我把电影和小说放在一起，以证明它们对非规范性、性别变异主题的关注是不同的:电影吸收了民族主义范式，而小说则批评了印度教民族主义和反穆斯林意识形态。我认为，酷儿世界的形成介入了对酷儿权利的承认的矛盾行使，为新兴民族主义的排他性政策服务。

abstract:Experiences of stigma and acceptance profoundly affect the lives of sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals and are often dependent on context, such as geographic location. Through interviews with twenty sexual and gender minority individuals living in Nebraska, this study aimed to explore participants' experiences of rejection and acceptance in different spheres to better understand how stigma operates. Thematic analysis revealed primary themes of Stigma and Discrimination and Signs of Support. However, reports of stigma and acceptance were often complex and intertwined. For example, participants described that receiving support from others categorized as merely "tolerant" is positive, given their expectations of rejection when living in a politically conservative state. These findings offer a contextualized understanding of how stigma and support affect SGM individuals at individual, interpersonal, community, and political levels in an underserved state.

abstract:The work required of politicized subjects to act together, across difference towards transformative justice, is inexhaustible, complex, and difficult. Sometimes it is a battle to speak to one's peers, let alone act in concert with them. This article addresses destructive tendencies of intracommunal queer relationality in particular. Recent events within queer networks have helped us to understand particular impasses in queer organizing as acerbic and self-destructive—what we term here as "acrid." In such instances, although some useful spaces for critique, criticism, praise, questions, wonderings, rants, reflections, and connections opened up, battlefields on which allied community members viciously attacked one another also manifested. Although generative at times, the debates and dialogues contained a great deal of vitriol, judgment, complacency, demands for apologies and annihilation, and in some instances, threatening and violent language, all which inhibit the momentum of our movements. This article is neither a content analysis of these myriad breakdowns in queer collaboration, nor are we interested in proving that such examples of destructive paradoxical relationality indeed happen. They happen. Instead, we assess the damage of devastated intracommunal relations, consider their queer propensities, and creatively theorize alternative possibilities for better collaborations throughout our queer spaces, communities, and futures.
