MANY BRONS HAVE CHANGED THEIR MDS ON GAY MARRIAGE
This article exam the impact that different normative unrstandgs of sexualy and relatnships have on LGBTIQ+ people’s experience of the UK Immigratn System, wh a particular foc on mononormative nceptns that privilege forms of upledom. By examg legal regulatns and se judgments, the mononormative bias is shown to disadvantage LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers and make difficult for those not seen to be long-term romantic relatnships to have their sexualy acknowledged and their claims for asylum upheld. The article nsirs how mononormativy tersects wh heteronormative stereotyp and narrow homonormative prcriptns of gay inty such as “g out” or exprsg particular liftyle choic. Taken together the normativi be a culture of disbelief the immigratn system that negat the self-intifitn of LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers and refuge by requirg them nform to norms that do not reflect the diversy of queer liv and experienc. * gay marriage in uk immigration *
Homonormativy is the assumptn that LGBTIQ+ people should nform to the norms that were prevly associated wh heterosexualy, such as marriage and nuclear fai. I narrowed the search further by g search terms associated wh relevant judgements such as ‘genue and subsistg relatnship (34 s) and ‘homosexual liftyle’ (61 s). Scholars have also expand their analysis to the role of both hetero- and homonormativi, such as Giametta (2014) who explor this relatn to queer asylum and relign and Jung (2015) who nsirs queer migrant activism.
There has, however, been ltle discsn to the relatnship between mononormativy and LGBTIQ+ people’s experience and how this b wh hetero- and homonormativy to impact on Sexual Orientatn and Genr Inty (SOGI) claimants the UK immigratn system. I argue that mononormativy needs to be nsired as signifint s own right but that mt also be suated alongsi heteronormativy and homonormativy orr to ga a fuller unrstandg of their bed impact on LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers and refuge. I therefore stcture this article by firstly addrsg the role of mononormativy before turng to heteronormativy and homonormativy (and as an aspect of this, homonatnalism).
