Aid conditionality and the limits of a politics of sexuality

*akshay khanna*
*
*

For activists and advocates of sexual rights, the very recognition of
sexuality as a valid aspect of ‘development’ or of rights itself, has been
a slow and thankless battle. As such, yesterday’sstatement by David Cameron
confirming that the British government will withhold aid from countries
with homophobic policies might ostensibly be seen as a ‘victory’ of sorts.
And yet there is something more fundamental at stake here – the idea of
‘sexuality’ as political object and the perpetration of a racialised
discourse of difference that highlights the colonial continuities in
‘Development’.

Cameron’s statement suggests that a progressive politics of sexuality can
only be imagined in the form that it has taken in Europe and North America.
This is the language of ‘LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender)
rights’, where the world is imagined as constituted of homosexual and
heterosexual people (with the nominal inclusion of bisexual and transgender
categories).

*Limits of an LGBT politics*

This idea, that ‘who you have sex with defines what you are’ is just about
a century old, and arises in a very particular political-economic context
where medical professionals claimed a monopoly over defining the ‘truth’ of
desire. This peculiar idea is far from universally experienced. In several
parts of the global south, South Asia, for instance, people experience and
express same-sex desire without needing to think of themselves as in any
way different from the next person. In other words, same sex desire is
expressed without reference to the idea of personhood. Activism in these
parts of the world has recognised this diversity and addressed the politics
of sexuality in a far broader way.

In India, for instance, the Queer movement, which has succeeded in
overturning a colonial anti-sodomy law, has been critical of an ‘LGBT
politics’. This has been a movement that recognises the politics of
sexuality as affecting everyone – not just those who fall into the
politically constructed category of LGBT – and being central to the
politics of caste, class, race, religious fundamentalism, nationalism and
economic development.

In the UK we see the reduction of the queer agenda to simply demanding a
space within the structures of hetero-normativity (the notion that a
monogamous relationship with someone of the same class,-race, and religion
is the only legitimate form of sexual relationshiop, and the structuring of
the political economy on the basis of this norm) – without questioning
these structures themselves. The demands are as minimal, for instance, as
demanding recognition of same-sex marriage. Rather than asking the question
of why rights are accessible to people only insofar as they fit somewhere
on the heteronornative matrix, these activisms have reduced themselves to
the demand for a place within it.

At another level, we have seen the more troubling phenomenon in the UK is
‘homonationalism’ – the easy appropriation of the LGBT rights discourse by
virulent right-wing, racist, Islamophobic nationalism. Earlier this year we
saw an attempt by members of the English Defence League to use the long
standing tradition of the Pride March as a vehicle for Islamphobia – in an
attempt to collapse Islam with Homophobia. This was in absolute disregard
to the processes of activism and community action by local Muslim LGBT
groups, and indeed the explicit acceptance of homosexuality by the local
mosque and religious associations. This amounted to the denial of the very
existence of Muslim LGBT folk, and the rich traditions of homo-eroticism
and gender diversity that have been celebrated in various forms of Islam.
At its worst, this implies that to be Gay, one needs to be White. At its
best, the underlying logic frames the European and North American Queer
folk as bearing a burden of rescuing Queer folk in the rest of the world –
a slight variation on the colonial theme of saving brown women from brown
men.

In this context, activists and policy makers in Europe and North America
would do well to inculcate humility in light of these limitations and open
the doors for more creative, radical and brave strategies in the politics
of sexuality, especially those arising from the Global South, from such
places as India and Brazil.

*Importance of understanding local experiences*

There is another more urgent and specific problem with the UK government
policy – and that is the manner in which it denies the possibility that
there might be local movements, dialogues and activisms around sexuality
and homophobia. Those who have taken the care to und

g_b Fwd: Axel Axgil 1915-2011 - A great LGBT pioneer

2011-10-31 Thread Aditya Bondyopadhyay
RIP Axel Axgil - Had the good fortune to meet him during the World Outgames
in Copenhagen in 2009. He was inspirational in his quiet way even when he
was well past 80 YO.
- Aditya B
*Axel Axgil 1915-2011 - A great LGBT Pioneer*

*Co-founder of the first Danish gay rights organisation in 1948*

*He encouraged exposure of Danish Nazi war criminal, SS Dr Carl Vaernet*

London - 31 October 2001


*Peter Tatchell pays tribute:*

Axel Axgil led a life very well lived, for five decades with his partner,
Eigil Axgil. Together, in 1989, they became the first couple in the world
to receive state-sanctioned recognition and rights as same-sex partners,
under Denmark's trail-blazing registered partnership law.

A true LGBT pioneer, Axel co-founded the Danish LGBT movement in 1948 and
the International Homosexual World Organisation in 1954. He remained an
active campaigner until his late 80s. He was a modest, warm-hearted,
generous, intelligent and pioneering humanitarian.

There is one aspect of Axel's many extraordinary achievements that is
little known.

With the particular help of Hans Christian Thaysen, and also Axel's
support, I was able to campaign from 1994-2000 to posthumously publicly
unmask the Danish Nazi war criminal, SS Dr Carl Vaernet, who experimented
on gay prisoners in Buchenwald concentration camp and who escaped justice
at the end of the Second World War with Allied connivance (possibly because
they mostly saw nothing wrong with Vaernet's bid to 'cure' homosexuality).

Vaernet lived openly in Argentina, with the knowledge of successive Danish
and Allied governments, until he died in 1965. There was never any attempt
to put him on trial with the other Nazi doctors.

Axel was in his late 70s when he contacted me about the Vaernet case, with
just a few vague, sketchy details. But he had a very sharp, forensic mind,
and gave me some useful suggestions.

As a result of his encouragement, and especially the substantive evidence
collated and passed to me by Hans, I did further investigations.

In 1998, I wrote to the then Danish Prime Minister, Poul Rasmussen, to
demand full disclosure of Vaernet's war crimes and the post-war cover-up by
the Danish authorities.

These letters led to huge media coverage of the Vaernet case, parliamentary
questions and a public outcry in Denmark.

Eventually, this resulted in the release of top secret files on Vaernet,
the naming of 31 Danish war criminals (including Vaernet) and exposure of
the six decade-long cover-up and collusion by the Danish Justice Ministry
(from 1949 to 1999).

In 2004, three Danish journalists published a book on Vaernet and how he
was protected, pursuing the evidence that we'd uncovered and expanding it.

Here is the summary I later wrote about these efforts to expose Vaernet and
his escape from justice:
http://www.petertatchell.net/lgbt_rights/history/vaernet.htm

I could have never unearthed what I did without Han's and Axel's help and
encouragement. I thank them.

Axel Axgil deserves great admiration from all LGBT people, Danes and
humanitarians. A true hero. I salute him. He will live on through his
extraordinary contribution to LGBT human rights. I feel very fortunate to
have worked with him.

g_b Laxmi on Bigg Boss

2011-10-31 Thread Vikram Kapoor
I'm surprised this hasnt come up yet - is anyone watching Bigg Boss? What do 
you think of Laxmi's portrayal of the hijra community (or just herself)?

To just get it started, Laxmi is part of Season 5 of Bigg Boss, the Indian 
version of UK's Big Brother, through which Shilpa Shetty resurrected her career 
a few years back.
Laxmi is one of 15 contestants, and the only openly GLBT representative. For 
those of you who know her personally, her entry into the house was raunchy and 
promising at best!
She flirted shamelessly with the hosts, and made no qualms about her sexuality, 
body or boobs. In the first week, we even saw her giving all the girls a 'feel' 
of her fake boobs!

Anyway, it has been a month, and Laxmi has grown from someone who 'scared' all 
the girls with her hijra like anger bursts, to being one of the most liked 
contestants on the show, by the housemates.
To a recent question by Sanjay Dutt, she was named the 'most genuine person' in 
the house by Akashdeep Sehgal, and 'the most likely to win' by Juhi Parmar.

If you're not watching it, do catch up on Youtube! For those of you who do, I'd 
love to hear what you think!
