摘要

应用酷儿历史框架,本研究考察了Matthew Shepard的遗产,同时集中关注女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿、双性恋和其他具有广泛性别或性取向的人(LGBTQ+)的观点。特别是,这项研究强调了在他被谋杀期间和之后,LGBTQ+人群的各种反应,以及今天在怀俄明州生活和工作的酷儿年轻人是如何被谢泼德的遗产所塑造的。根据档案和采访数据中的证据(n=23次采访),我们认为马修·谢泼德特有的集体记忆的社会过程在很大程度上是一种抹杀——不是抹杀事件本身,而是抹杀该地区历史和当代酷儿激进主义、社区和抵抗。对许多年轻人来说,马修·谢泼德的遗产是一个警示故事。他的名字被盟友和反LGBTQ+的人引用,以阻止LGBTQ+的知名度,从而构建和具体化对美国农村的非规范想象。这项研究说明了扩大酷儿历史的价值和重要性,以多样、细致和准确的方式代表农村酷儿的声音。我们还呼吁社会学家研究他们是如何在他们的学术中永久抹去农村酷儿的。

The Legacy of Matthew Shepard: Queer Erasure and the Lives of Rural LGBTQ+ Young Adults

Applying a queer historical framework, this study examines the legacy of Matthew Shepard while centering the perspectives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two–Spirit, and other people of expansive genders or sexualities (LGBTQ+). In particular, this study highlights the varied responses of LGBTQ+ people during and after his murder, and how queer young adults living and working in Wyoming today have been shaped by Shepard's legacy. Drawing on evidence from archival and interview data (n = 23 interviews), we argue that the social process of collective memory endemic to Matthew Shepard has largely been one of erasure—not erasure of the incident itself, but erasure of historical and contemporary queer activism, community, and resistance in the region. For many young people, Matthew Shepard's legacy is that of a cautionary tale. His name is invoked by allies and anti-LGBTQ+ people alike to deter LGBTQ+ visibility, thereby constructing and reifying a heteronormative imagining of rural America. This study illustrates the value and importance of expanding queer history to represent rural queer voices in diverse, nuanced, and accurate ways. We also make a call for Sociologists to examine how they, too, may be perpetuating rural queer erasure within their scholarship.
