Operating inside the complex state apparatus that has been constructed in a way which perpetuates ethnic divisions, LGBT activism in BiH has to face the relatively uninformed and homophobic public, on the one hand, and the poorly coordinated state institutions that are often not accountable to the citizens whom they are supposed to represent and protect, on the other. Sexual matters in the still highly patriarchal BiH socio-political context struggle to find a way out of religious doctrines and nationalist agendas. As the country’s political deadlock regarding its integration into the EU provides little hope for a meaningful improvement of the current state of political and economic affairs, LGBT advocacy could hold a certain creative potential to, in cooperation with other progressive forces, imagine a different—non-ethnocratic—kind of BiH polity.

在一个民族国家的另一边？后代顿波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的 lgbt 激进主义

波黑的 LGBT 激进主义在其复杂的国家机器中运作，这种机构的构建方式使种族分裂永久化，一方面，他们必须面对相对不知情和仇视同性恋的公众，以及协调不力的国家机构，这些机构往往不对社会负责。另一方面，他们应该代表和保护的公民。在仍然高度重男轻女的波黑社会政治背景下，性问题努力寻找摆脱宗教教义和民族主义议程的方法。由于该国在融入欧盟方面的政治僵局对当前政治和经济状况的有意义改善几乎没有希望，因此 LGBT 倡导可能具有一定的创造潜力，与其他进步力量合作，想象一个不同的——非-ethnocratic——一种波黑政体。
