ABSTRACT This article explores the meanings of ‘home’ for queer Malays in Malaysia through an analysis of the central gay Malay male character in Azwan Ismail’s story, Tiada sesalan (No regrets). Drawing upon studies of home by feminist and queer geographers, the article examines the character’s notions of ‘home’ and how these notions are constructed across time and space. The findings show that ‘home’ has been conceived of in many ways: as (1) a material-imaginative space; (2) a site of identity and power; and (3) a multi-scalar construct. The character has, for the most part of his life, been engaged in the process of queering home through which he developed a queer sense of ‘home’ and identity. This, however, has not been an easy task because the home is a powerful site that can both facilitate and complicate the process.

摘要本文通过对阿兹万·伊斯梅尔故事中的中心男同性恋马来男性角色的分析，探讨了马来西亚同性恋马来人“家”的含义。 Tiadasesalan（无悔）。文章借鉴女权主义者和酷儿地理学家对家的研究，考察了人物对“家”的概念，以及这些概念是如何跨越时间和空间构建的。研究结果表明，“家”的构想有多种方式：(1) 物质-想象空间；(2) 身份和权力的场所；(3) 多标量构造。这个角色在他一生的大部分时间里都在从事酷儿家庭的过程，通过这个过程他发展了一种奇怪的“家”和身份感。然而，这并不是一件容易的事，因为家庭是一个强大的网站，它既可以促进这个过程，也可以使这个过程复杂化。
