Despite growing debate about the role of monuments in diverse societies, there has been insufficient attention to contestations that have emerged involving ‘gay’ or ‘queer’ monuments. This article examines the politics of inclusion and exclusion that can stem from the social practices that evolve around these monuments, particularly as the imperatives and priorities of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) activism evolve while monuments, created in a particular historical and geographical context, are in some sense ‘set in stone’. Drawing on an intensive, mixed-methods case study of the Homomonument in Amsterdam, the article develops a grounded critique of processes of inclusion and exclusion specifically in relation to Black, bisexual and transgender people. With a focus on dance parties organised at the Homomonument, the article calls for more research that analyses monuments as sites of practice.

尽管关于纪念碑在不同社会中的作用的争论越来越多，但对涉及“同性恋”或“酷儿”纪念碑的争论并未引起足够的重视。本文探讨了可能源于围绕这些纪念碑演变的社会实践的包容和排斥政治，特别是随着 LGBTQ（女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿）激进主义的需要和优先事项的发展，而纪念碑则是在特定的历史和地理背景，在某种意义上是“一成不变的”。利用对Homomonument的密集、混合方法案例研究在阿姆斯特丹，这篇文章对特别与黑人、双性恋和跨性别者相关的包容和排斥过程进行了有根据的批判。这篇文章重点关注在Homomonument组织的舞会，呼吁进行更多的研究，将纪念碑分析为实践场所。
