The U.S.-led global LGBT human rights campaign, formalised on International Human Rights Day 2011, sutures human rights policing with a politics of protection. Centred on a singular LGBT victim of violence, the campaign’s multiple projects legitimate military and financial intervention under the auspices of human rights. This article examines the regulatory production of globalised LGBT rights through the nexus of international LGBT human rights/hate crime laws, U.S. asylum law, and equal protection treatment of sexual orientation. I argue that the juridical and ideological frameworks that guide state action in each of these areas converge in the construction of an immutable LGBT identity that is the object of racialised, culturally othered violence. This rendering of sexual difference through the flattening of culture elides structural violence and advances human rights imperialism.

爱与恨的全球化想象：不变性、暴力和 LGBT 人权

美国领导的全球 LGBT 人权运动于 2011 年国际人权日正式成立，将人权警务与保护政治结合起来。该运动的多个项目以一个单一的 LGBT 暴力受害者为中心，在人权的支持下进行合法的军事和金融干预。本文通过国际 LGBT 人权/仇恨犯罪法、美国庇护法和对性取向的平等保护待遇的联系，研究了全球化 LGBT 权利的监管生产。我认为，在这些领域中指导国家行动的司法和意识形态框架在构建不可改变的 LGBT 身份时会聚在一起，该身份是种族化的、文化上的其他暴力的对象。
