My ISP works to illumate the diversy of LGBTQI experienc and liv Cape Town. I do this through discsg the privilege necsary to "e out" Cape Town and, subsequently, have accs to The Pk Village, Cape Town's gay district. By Brgg theory on "g out" as a whe experience and the queer movement as re-centerg whe normativy, I work to openly discs how a history of excln has lived on Cape Town's gay district and phed the more margalized gay muni out of the cy center. Through amic rearch, participant observatn both the gay village and the townships, and five rmal terviews wh South Ains who intify as LGBTQI, I work to reveal how queer spac are both plac of cln and excln on the basis of race, relign, genr inty, etc. My ncln is that whe gay men, unlike black or loured queer South Ains (pecially lbians), are able to utilize pre-existg racist and misogynistic stctur to ga greater accs and acceptance Cape Town. Subsequently, queer intified black or loured South Ains, pecially women, are ma more margalized by the spac and muni that are supposed to accept them. This is largely a rult of a long history of apartheid South Ai that has left the untry wh many qutns and issu surroundg equal rights, accs, and ()visibily Cape Town's cy center.
