Abstract
This refection draws upon two recent ‘moments’ in British sexuality politics—a
series of Parliamentary debates on Global LGBT rights and Brighton Pride’s campaign to ‘Highlight Global LGBT Communities’. It contrasts these two moments in
order to demonstrate how, at a time when LGBT rights have ostensibly been ‘won’
in the UK, there is an increasing tendency to shift focus to the persecution of SOGI
minorities elsewhere in the world. This shift in focus sets up a binary of here versus
there that is politically persuasive but ultimately limited and limiting. By refecting
on the way that this growing trend of creating sexual politics elsewhere occurs in
two very diferent locations in British politics and activism, we seek to begin a conversation about the relational afects of placing sexual politics ‘elsewhere’.
