Research on homonormativity in the Global North has burgeoned in the last 20 years as there have been developments to include sexual minorities as equal members of society. However, little is known about the emergent forms of homonormativity in the Global South where in most cases the improvements in terms of sexual rights and citizenship in the Global North did not echo. Despite the lack of the legal, economic, and cultural infrastructure, an inchoate Southern homonormativity unfolds among gay men through their gender performances, bodily presentations, class positions, and neoliberal aspirations. Southern homonormativity is a cultural formation that takes place in settings where there is no institutional change and legal reforms to define, recognize, and embrace the gay citizens (and families) as equal, legitimate, and respected members of society. By using interviews and ethnographic home visits in Istanbul, Turkey, this article explores how homonormativity is contextually driven and flexible, and how privileged gay men understand and navigate homonormative precepts in a context within the Global South.

在过去的20年中，随着将性少数群体纳入社会平等成员的发展，全球北部的同范性研究蓬勃发展。但是，对于全球南方出现的同种规范现象知之甚少，在大多数情况下，全球北方在性权利和公民权方面的进步并没有回音。尽管缺乏法律，经济和文化基础设施，但男同性恋者通过其性别表现，身体表现，阶级地位和新自由主义的愿望，在早期出现了南方的同种异性。南部同种异性是一种文化形态，它发生在没有机构变革和法律改革就无法定义，承认和接受同性恋公民（和家庭）平等，合法，合法的情况下。和受人尊敬的社会成员。通过在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的访谈和人种志家庭访问，本文探讨了如何根据上下文来驱动同态性和灵活度，以及在全球南方环境中，有特权的同性恋者如何理解和驾驭同型性规范。
