This reflection draws upon two recent ‘moments’ in British sexuality politics—a series of Parliamentary debates on Global LGBT rights and Brighton Pride’s campaign to ‘Highlight Global LGBT Communities’. It contrasts these two moments in order to demonstrate how, at a time when LGBT rights have ostensibly been ‘won’ in the UK, there is an increasing tendency to shift focus to the persecution of SOGI minorities elsewhere in the world. This shift in focus sets up a binary of here versus there that is politically persuasive but ultimately limited and limiting. By reflecting on the way that this growing trend of creating sexual politics elsewhere occurs in two very different locations in British politics and activism, we seek to begin a conversation about the relational affects of placing sexual politics ‘elsewhere’.

这里与那里：在别处创造英国性政治

这种反思借鉴了英国性政治中最近的两个“时刻”——一系列关于全球 LGBT 权利的议会辩论和布莱顿骄傲运动“突出全球 LGBT 社区”。它对比了这两个时刻，以证明在英国表面上“赢得”了 LGBT 权利的时候，人们越来越倾向于将重点转移到世界其他地方对 SOGI 少数民族的迫害上。这种焦点的转变建立了一个在这里与那里的二元对立，这在政治上具有说服力，但最终是有限的。通过反思这种在别处创造性政治的日益增长的趋势在英国政治和激进主义的两个截然不同的地方发生的方式，我们试图开始关于将性政治置于“其他地方”的关系影响的对话。
