Examining the relationship between social media, anti-gender and everyday polarisation, this article identifies the ways social media platforms reflect the mundane amidst the interactions of users over social and political issues, showing how micro-stories can foreground macro-political tensions online. We examine a Twitter event over an outing that showed vigorous debates on issues pertaining to gender and its socio-political connotations in Turkey, employing textual and content analyses of reactions shared through hashtags and mentions. The outing involved a child custody battle in court and a secret recording, exposing the sexual identity of a woman popstar #Intizar. The paper shows how Twitter facilitated conservative, homophobic and patriarchal reactions that harnessed deep political polarisation between the AKP government's supporters and those declaring solidarity with LGBTI+ issues. A mundane divorce story exhibited the deep political tension in Turkey, which also exemplifies the depth of increasing online polarisation over gender on a global scale.

At the beginning of the investigative process there were concepts and perceptions, that although they were far from objective reality, they were not substantial reality. The direct contact with people who belong to LGBTI really overcame what at the beginning could be validated just in some specific social areas, this without leaving aside the main shaft which consistedof public policy for LGBTI people It is clear that the effectiveness of legal norms is constantly fragmented in practice, because of multiple factors that influence the objective social reality. The effectiveness of public policies to protect LGBTI people are not an exception. In the course of research activity, it is permanently observed that the purpose of the state aimed at achieving the protection and participation of all inhabitants of the Colombian state is not factually a concrete reality and instead it goes on the contrary way of its recipients, who are constantly permeated by a number of dynamics that prevent an effective approach to this type of regulations that lead to the protection and visibility standards in contrast with other subjects of society. Therefore, it is proposed a handy tool called community responsability. If this tool is used, it shall ensure LGBTI as concrete materialization of their true interests as a community. ; Al inicio del proceso investigativo se tenían conceptos y percepciones que pese a no estar alejados de la realidad objetiva, sí carecían de contenido sustancial; el contacto directo con las personas pertenecientes a la población LGBTI realmente logró traspasar todo aquello que, en principio, sólo era posible validar sumariamente en relación a diferentes ámbitos sociales concretos. Es claro, que la eficacia de las normas jurídicas se ve continuamente fragmentada en la praxis a causa de múltiples factores que condicionan la realidad social objetiva; la eficacia de las políticas públicas de protección a las personas LGBTI no son la excepción. En el trans- curso de la actividad investigativa se observó de forma permanente en que los fines del estado orientados a lograr la protección y participación de todos los habitantes, no se concreta en la realidad fáctica y por el contrario, avanzan por caminos distintos y paralelos a los que recorren sus destinatarios, los cuales se ven constantemente permeados por un sin número de dinámicas que les impide un acercamiento efectivo a este tipo de normatividad, que como consecuencia, los conduzca a estándares de protección y visibilización aptos, en contraste con otros sujetos de la sociedad. Por lo anterior, se formula una herramienta práctica denominada responsabilidad comunitaria, que de ser utilizada, será determinante para la población verdaderos intereses como comunidad.

In this article I document the main German parties' 2021 election platforms regarding gender and sexuality. These manifestos contained considerably different portrayals of gendered inequalities in the Federal Republic, preferred diverse roles for the state in ameliorating gendered inequalities, and called for state action in distinct spheres. Parties also generally viewed "women" and "lgbti" people as homogeneous entities rather than intersectional groups. I conclude by discussing how the differences among the Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats were reconciled in the 2021 coalition agreement. The "traffic light" proposals for achieving gender equality differ starkly from the platforms of the Christian Democrats and the Alternative for Germany.

In diesem Beitrag werden Praktiken der konventionellen zweigeschlechtlichen Umkleideorganisation in ihrer Relevanz für die Sportpartizipation von LGBTI*-Personen hervorgehoben, um anschließend alternative Praktiken zu diskutieren. Es werden exemplarische Umkleide-Strukturpraktiken queerer Sportkontexte beschrieben, um aus einer emotions- und raumsoziologischen Perspektive deren Potentiale und Grenzen für Fragen der In- und Exklusion aufzuzeigen.

La comunidad LGBTI, como tantas otras minorías han sido durante mucho tiempo objeto de discriminación, además ningún país del mundo ha eliminado por completo y con éxito, todas las formas de discriminación y exclusión (Flores, G., 2016). el objetivo esencial de esta investigación fue identificar las representaciones sociales de la inclusión educativa de la población LGTBI en las facultades de salud - UEB, con el fin de determinar la manera en que otras personas los ven y de cómo expresan conceptos y creencias de lo que puede llegar a ser una persona que tiene cierta afinidad, gustos y/o atracciones particulares, personas que pueden ser catalogadas como singulares y que su presencia en cierto grupo social, como lo es la Educación Superior, puede objetar la aceptación dadas sus características sociodemográficas, religión, costumbres y nivel de educación; se indago acerca del conocimiento, la adaptación de la comunidad Universitaria, frente a las políticas de inclusión y cómo éstas, tienden a contribuir al acceso educativo de la mencionada población. Se desarrollo una metodología con un enfoque mixto, de tipo descriptivo exploratorio, bajo un paradigma hermenéutico interpretativo, como métodos de recolección de la información se realizó encuestas por bloques de acuerdo con categorías. La selección y tamaño de la muestra fue por muestreo probabilístico por conglomerados y Participaron Estudiantes (108), Docentes (34) y Administrativos (22) de las Facultades de Salud – UEB. Las Representaciones Sociales de la inclusión en la Educación Superior de la población objeto de estudio, mostro, tolerancia y aceptación de la misma, frente a la cultura, religión y relaciones interpersonales, con un desempeño académico independiente de la condición sexual. Existe la percepción de discriminación en diferentes contextos sociales, con la sensación de falta en equidad e igualdad, como también de oportunidades respecto a las garantías de derechos (inclusión). El desconocimiento de las políticas fue un factor predominante. ; Especialista en Docencia Universitaria ; Maestría ; LGBTI community like so many other minorities have been for a long-time object of discrimination. Also, no country in the world has completely and successfully eliminated all forms of social exclusion (Flores, G., 2016). This study aims at identifying the social representations of the educational inclusion of the LGTBI community at the Bosque University healthcare faculties. in order to determine the way in which other people see them and how they express concepts and beliefs of what It can become a person who has a certain affinity, tastes and/or particular attractions, people who can be classified as unique and that their presence in a certain social group, such as Higher Education, may object to acceptance given its sociodemographic characteristics, religion, customs, and level of education; He inquired about the knowledge, the adaptation of the University community, against the inclusion politics and how they tend to contribute to the educational access of the mentioned population. A methodology was developed with a mixed approach, of an exploratory descriptive type, under an interpretive hermeneutic paradigm, as information collection methods It has been made block surveys according to categories. The selection and size of the sample were by probabilistic sampling by conglomerates and Participants Students (108), Teachers (34) and Administrative (22) of the Bosque University healthcare faculties. The Social Representations of the inclusion in Higher Education of the population under study, show, tolerance, and acceptance of the same, Front of culture, religion, and interpersonal relationships, with an academic performance independent of the sexual condition. There is the perception of discrimination in differentsocial contexts, with the feeling of lack of equity and equality, as well as opportunities regarding rights guarantees (inclusion). Ignorance of the policies was a predominant factor.

Between 2009 and 2014, an anti-homosexuality law circulating in the Ugandan parliament attracted global attention for the draconian nature of its provisions and for the involvement of US anti-gay evangelical Christians who were reported to have lobbied for its passage. This book makes three contributions to our understanding of these developments. First, it offers an account of the international relations that anticipated and followed the Anti Homosexuality Act. Journeying through encounters between the kingdom of Buganda and British colonialism, between the Ugandan state and its international donors, and between LGBTI activists in the global South and North, the book illuminates the frictional collaborations across geopolitical divides that produce and contest contemporary queerphobias.

The study of sexuality, especially queer sexuality, has occupied a historically marginal position within political economy. Where feminist scholars have addressed the topic, they have typically done so through the lens of women's sexual labour and social reproduction and/or by framing sexual orientation and gender identity as a variable through which patterns of differentiation may occur. Most critical political economy ignores sexuality entirely. As a result, matters of queer oppression and resistance have not been systematically investigated or theorised. This paper addresses this gap by fusing together insights from the emergent 'queering IPE' literature with two other strands of scholarship that integrate queer concerns into the study of global capitalism: the 'globalisation' and 'state-centric' frames. Based on this, I propose a theoretical framework for understanding queer struggle and apply this to the analysis of LGBTI politics and activism in Ghana. The paper argues that queer oppression and resistance are important topics of inquiry in and of themselves in political economy. At the same time, a broader ontological shift is required to recognise the constitutive role of sexuality within political economic phenomena, which has potentially far-reaching implications for future research agendas within and beyond the study of queer politics.

Abstract
Gender studies and its professors are attacked and oppressed by patriarchal, masculinist, antifeminist, and anti-LGBTI discourses and institutional practices. This trend is not limited to white- and/or Christian-majority countries, as the literature has documented thus far. Antigender campaigns can easily infiltrate Middle Eastern and/or Muslim-majority contexts in which feminists and queers have long struggled to transform societies, cultures, and states. In Turkey a state-led antigender movement has been unfolding, with burdensome outcomes for women and sexual minorities as well as activists and faculty members. The most recent step taken in the state-led antigender turn was Turkey's withdrawal from the Council of Europe's Istanbul Convention Action by a precipitous presidential decree. Drawing on thirty-three interviews with gender studies scholars, this article documents their ambivalent and perturbing connection with the state. The recent antigender atmosphere may make them feel downtrodden, silenced, and vulnerable in personal and professional domains, while it rejuvenates their resilience, renders their ongoing feminist/queer struggles meaningful and passionate, and cultivates an air of hope and optimism. To fight ostracism by public institutions and to attain their academic rights, the respondents use their empowering feelings, hope, and commitment against patriarchal and homophobic state forces.
