Despite past projects to “decentre” metronormativity—a societal bias toward queer urban imaginings—in geographical scholarship, attention to suburbia has been limited due, in part, to reliance upon, and reinforcement of, an urban–rural binary that disqualifies the metropolitan periphery. This paper unpacks this binary by reviewing key themes at the intersections of the queer and suburban within the subfields of geographies of sexualities and queer geographies. It begins by outlining the American metronormativities critique and evaluating the claim that the “non‐metropolitan” should be the primary arena for unsettling the queer urban. Four key themes from the Anglo‐American‐Australian literature on the queer suburban are then surveyed: suburbanization processes, suburban relocations, suburban “ways of life,” and suburban home‐making. Having evaluated the current state of the subfield, the paper concludes by pointing to the possibilities of the queer suburban for future urban geography and geographies of LGBTQ+ sexualities scholarship.

“那里没有酷儿”？Metronormativity和古怪的郊区

尽管过去曾在地理学者中进行过“去中心化”度量标准（社会偏向城市想象力的社会偏向）的计划，但对郊区的关注仍然受到限制，这在一定程度上是因为依赖并加强了城乡二元化，从而使大都市边缘地区失去了资格。 。本文通过回顾性别和同志地理学子领域中同志与郊区交界处的关键主题来解压缩此二进制文件。首先概述了美国的计量学评论，并评估了“非大都市”应该是使古怪的城市不安的主要舞台的说法。然后，调查了英美澳大利亚文学中有关酷儿郊区的四个关键主题：郊区化过程，郊区搬迁，郊区“生活方式”和郊区住宅。
