摘要

在Boğaziçi反对由上而下任命新主教的运动中，一种反对国家恐同的运动出现了，并与土耳其不断变化的性别政治动态产生了共鸣。在埃尔多安总统将LGBTI+学生妖魔化为恐怖分子之后，警方突袭了他们的校园办公室，没收了彩虹旗，作为他们所谓的与恐怖活动有关的证据。本文检视Boğaziçi大学LGBTI+学生的过程，这些学生是土耳其近期性酷儿的缩影，他们不稳定且非二元性别/性身份、反对异性恋和同性恋的政治斗争，以及对创造安全的公共空间、表演、亲密和挑战可见性的反抗要求。国家对同性恋的恐惧表现为对学生的要求和制度文化的回应，这种文化使得通过激进主义和抵抗来形成一个同性恋公众。

State Homophobia, Sexual Politics, and Queering the Boğaziçi Resistance

In the midst of the Boğaziçi resistance against the top-down appointment of the new rector, a form of resistance to state homophobia emerges and resonates with the changing dynamics of sexual politics in Turkey. Following President Erdogan’s demonization of LGBTI+ students as terrorists, police raided their on-campus office and confiscated rainbow flags as what they called evidence of an assumed connection to terrorist activities. This essay examines the process through which the LGBTI+ students at Boğaziçi University epitomize the recent queering of sexualities in Turkey with their destabilizing and nonbinary gender/sexual identities, political struggles against heteronormativity and homonormativity, and recalcitrant demands for creating safe public spaces of performative, intimate, and challenging visibility. State homophobia manifest itself as a response to the students’ demands and to the institutional culture that enables the making of a queer public through activism and resistance.
