This article explores Finnish LGBTIQ+ people’s break-ups. The long battle for equal rights has placed LGBTIQ+ people’s relationships under pressure to succeed. Previous studies argue that partners in LGBTIQ+ relationships try to appear as ordinary and happy as possible, and remain silent about the challenges they face in their relationships. Consequently, they may miss out on opportunities to receive institutional and familial support. This study aims to move beyond recurrent frameworks that take the similarity or difference between LGBTIQ+ relationships/break-ups and mixed-sex relationships as a predefined point of departure. The analysis draws on ethnographic observations of relationship seminars for the recently separated, an online counselling site for LGBTIQ+ people, survey data, and interviews with LGBTIQ+ people who have experienced recent break-ups. It employs the Deleuzo-Guattarian concept of assemblages in order to show how different components and manifold power relations come to matter in different ways in the course of the open-ended becomings of relationship break-ups.

LGBTIQ+ 分手组合：在彩虹的尽头

本文探讨了芬兰 LGBTIQ+ 人群的分手。争取平等权利的长期斗争使 LGBTIQ+ 人群的关系面临成功的压力。先前的研究认为，LGBTIQ+ 关系中的伴侣会尽量表现得平凡而快乐，并对他们在关系中面临的挑战保持沉默。因此，他们可能会错过获得机构和家庭支持的机会。本研究旨在超越将 LGBTIQ+ 关系/分手与混合性关系之间的相似性或差异作为预定义出发点的循环框架。该分析借鉴了对最近分居者的关系研讨会的人种学观察、LGBTIQ+ 人群的在线咨询网站、调查数据、以及对最近经历过分手的 LGBTIQ+ 人士的采访。它采用了德勒佐-加塔利安的组合概念，以展示在关系破裂的开放式生成过程中，不同的组成部分和多方面的权力关系如何以不同的方式发挥作用。
