Abstract
The article proposes a political ethnography of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) asylum founded on a fieldwork (2017–19) in an associative and activist context that supports LGBTI asylum applicants. Through the analysis of the narratives mobilized and produced during the interviews between asylum applicants and institutional agents in charge of receiving and assessing the requests for international protection, the article explores the institutional uses of the SOGI framework. The hypothesis that the article puts forward is that, far from concerning exclusively a confrontation/dispute among models of sexual orientation and gender identity, these interactions actually bring forth a logic of exchange of moral goods (vulnerability, feelings of shame and fear, identity, narratives). Given the impossibility for LGBTI asylum applicants to produce probatory documentation, this study exposes the strategies for determining legitimate from illegitimate LGBTI migrant subjects, 'good' from 'bad' migrant stories, and, therefore, the political and moral dimension of the institutional work and the grant of the right of asylum.

This study examines the impact of the refugee status determination (RSD) process in the UK on LGBTI refugees who have been successful with 'proving' their sexual orientation. This research explores the impact that the process, which is situated in a culture of disbelief, has on LGBTI refugees' integration in the UK. The refusal rate of LGBTI asylum claims is higher when compared with claims based on other grounds, with preconceived notions about how LGBTI persons act are seen to be a contributing factor. However, for the minority of individuals who are successful in 'proving' their sexual orientation and gain refugee status in the UK, their experiences of the process is not well documented. This study therefore explores their perspective, concluding with what can be changed during the process to reduce potential, negative, integration outcomes.

Examining the relationship between social media, anti-gender and everyday polarisation, this article identifies the ways social media platforms reflect the mundane amidst the interactions of users over social and political issues, showing how micro-stories can foreground macro-political tensions online. We examine a Twitter event over an outing that showed vigorous debates on issues pertaining to gender and its socio-political connotations in Turkey, employing textual and content analyses of reactions shared through hashtags and mentions. The outing involved a child custody battle in court and a secret recording, exposing the sexual identity of a woman popstar #Intizar. The paper shows how Twitter facilitated conservative, homophobic and patriarchal reactions that harnessed deep political polarisation between the AKP government's supporters and those declaring solidarity with LGBTI+ issues. A mundane divorce story exhibited the deep political tension in Turkey, which also exemplifies the depth of increasing online polarisation over gender on a global scale.

In diesem Beitrag werden Praktiken der konventionellen zweigeschlechtlichen Umkleideorganisation in ihrer Relevanz für die Sportpartizipation von LGBTI*-Personen hervorgehoben, um anschließend alternative Praktiken zu diskutieren. Es werden exemplarische Umkleide-Strukturpraktiken queerer Sportkontexte beschrieben, um aus einer emotions- und raumsoziologischen Perspektive deren Potentiale und Grenzen für Fragen der In- und Exklusion aufzuzeigen.

La comunidad LGBTI, como tantas otras minorías han sido durante mucho tiempo objeto de discriminación, además ningún país del mundo ha eliminado por completo y con éxito, todas las formas de discriminación y exclusión (Flores, G., 2016). el objetivo esencial de esta investigación fue identificar las representaciones sociales de la inclusión educativa de la población LGTBI en las facultades de salud - UEB, con el fin de determinar la manera en que otras personas los ven y de cómo expresan conceptos y creencias de lo que puede llegar a ser una persona que tiene cierta afinidad, gustos y/o atracciones particulares, personas que pueden ser catalogadas como singulares y que su presencia en cierto grupo social, como lo es la Educación Superior, puede objetar la aceptación dadas sus características sociodemográficas, religión, costumbres y nivel de educación; se indago acerca del conocimiento, la adaptación de la comunidad Universitaria, frente a las políticas de inclusión y cómo éstas, tienden a contribuir al acceso educativo de la mencionada población. Se desarrollo una metodología con un enfoque mixto, de tipo descriptivo exploratorio, bajo un paradigma hermenéutico interpretativo, como métodos de recolección de la información se realizó encuestas por bloques de acuerdo con categorías. La selección y tamaño de la muestra fue por muestreo probabilístico por conglomerados y Participaron Estudiantes (108), Docentes (34) y Administrativos (22) de las Facultades de Salud – UEB.

Between 2009 and 2014, an anti-homosexuality law circulating in the Ugandan parliament attracted global attention for the draconian nature of its provisions and for the involvement of US anti-gay evangelical Christians who were reported to have lobbied for its passage. This book makes three contributions to our understanding of these developments. First, it offers an account of the international relations that anticipated and followed the Anti Homosexuality Act. Journeying through encounters between the kingdom of Buganda and British colonialism, between the Ugandan state and its international donors, and between LGBTI activists in the global South and North, the book illuminates the frictional collaborations across geopolitical divides that produce and contest contemporary queerphobias.

"Between 2009 and 2014, an anti homosexuality law circulating in the Ugandan parliament attracted global attention for the draconian nature of its provisions and for the involvement of US antigay evangelical Christians who were reported to have lobbied for its passage. This book makes three contributions to our understanding of these developments. First, it offers an account of the international relations that anticipated and followed the Anti Homosexuality Act. Journeying through encounters between the kingdom of Buganda and British colonialism, between the Ugandan state and its international donors, and between LGBTI activists in the global South and North, the book illuminates the frictional collaborations across geopolitical divides that produce and contest contemporary queerphobias. Second, it explores the dialectic produced by two opposed statements that mark queer postcolonial disagreements-'homosexuality is Western' and 'homophobia is Western'. Arguing that both statements are true but trivial, the book demonstrates how their opposition produces distinctive forms of temporal politics in the queer postcolony. In this register, the book explores the afterlives of colonialism and the queer futures enabled by it in Uganda, India, and Britain. Third, in shifting the scenes of encounter that it investigates from one chapter to the next, the book reveals how queerness mutates in different configurations of power to become a metonym for other categories such as nationality, religiosity, race, class, and caste. It argues that these mutations reveal the grammars forged in the originary violence of the state and social institutions in which queer difference struggles to find place"--
