摘要

本文考察了过去二十年来阿拉伯世界新兴的LGBTQ运动与国家之间的关系。文章聚焦于各种LGBTQ社会运动对抗阿拉伯地区同性恋罪化的努力，对近年来LGBTQ权利倡导者在黎巴嫩取得的一连串法律胜利感到困惑，尽管司法部门充满敌意，腐败缠身。它质疑了一系列关于政权类型(民主与威权主义)对同性恋权利活动和诉讼的影响的普遍假设。这篇文章解释了一些阿拉伯LGBTQ运动是如何成功地依靠战略诉讼来对抗刑事法律的，而另一些运动在追求公开对抗的方法上却不太成功。突尼斯和黎巴嫩的对比将我们的注意力转移回法官和社会运动领袖在为LGBTQ公民塑造法律结果方面的作用。

Snatching Legal Victory: LGBTQ Rights Activism and Contestation in the Arab World

This article examines the relationship between emergent LGBTQ movements and the state in the Arab world over the past two decades. Focusing on the efforts of various LGBTQ social movements to confront the criminalization of homosexuality in the Arab region, the article puzzles over a cascade of legal victories for LGBTQ rights advocates in Lebanon in recent years in spite of a hostile justice sector mired with corruption. It interrogates a set of prevalent assumptions about the effect of regime type (democracy v. authoritarianism) on gay rights activism and litigation. This article explains how some LGBTQ Arab movements have successfully relied on strategic litigation to confront criminalization laws while others have had less success in pursuing overtly confrontational approaches. The paired comparison between Tunisia and Lebanon shifts our focus back to the agency of judges and social movement leaders in shaping legal outcomes for LGBTQ citizens.
