| description | Our article is about the new relevance of the category of homosexuality in a context where sex has become the ultimate democratic truth. Immigration policies rely on sorting “true” sexual migrants from “fake” ones. On the one hand, judges try to define homosexuality with objective criteria; on the other, the subjective identity of these migrants is the result of their negotiating with contradictory constraints. Instead of borrowing from the mirroring discourses of “gay liberation” or “gay imperialism,” that are both based on the presumption of a “true” sexual identity (whether Western or not), we use two interviews with bi-national gay couples to analyze identity as a relational performance which is, more than mere role-playing, part of the subjectivation of sexual migrants. |
