Homofascism

Template:Stub

Homonationalism is a totalitarian mostly culturally far-right ideology with the exception of LGBT rights being a core value.

Homonationalism is an idea that draws association with nationalist values and LGBT rights. For example, it may justify ultranationalist ideas such as strong borders and xenophobia by claiming that Muslims pose a threat to LGBT people, or that Western nations are a bastion of equal marriage rights. Critics claim that examples of Homonationalism include the United States' modern insistence on global gay rights being used to justify foreign intervention, or Israel's acceptance of gay marriage being used to legitimize their claim over Palestine. These statements are known as Pinkwashing in LGBT studies, as they use issues of LGBT rights to distract from violence or nationalist sentiments. Homonationalism was not originally an ideology, but rather a critique of certain LGBT ideas. That being said, people who hold nationalist views associated with LGBT rights may be described as Homonationalists.

History

The term was originally talked about by a researcher in gender studies Jasbir K. Puar in 2007 to refer to the processes by which some powers line up with the claims of the LGBT community in order to justify anti social equality positions, especially against Islam, basing them on prejudices that migrant people are anti-gay and that Western society is egalitarian. Thus, sexual diversity and LGBT rights are used to conserve political stances against immigration, growing among far-right parties.

The concept of homonationalism is used to critique the use of LGBT social movements to further ends based in homophobia, while ignoring homophobia and of social inequality in Western society as a whole. In this view, equality in Western society is showed by access to gay marriage and heteronormativity, and contrasted with countries without legal recognition of gay couples or that illegalize homosexuality, often associating those positions with Muslims. Since developing the concept, Puar has more recently argued that the concept should not be used as an accusation or an identity, but that it is instead a transnational process that represents a historical shift.
