Homonormativity refers to the ratification and endorsement of heteronormative institutions and structures into lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) lives, culture and discourse. While homonormativity’s common manifestation is in the (relatively) privileged white, able-bodied gay men, this presentation will focus on lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LBT) women’s experiences in the Israeli periphery, offering a situated reading of the politics of Israeli homonormativity outside urban centers. As a concept, homonormativity has the potential to reduce life experiences into a widely criticized category. Instead, we aim to voice the ways homonormativity has a geographical, temporal and gendered potential to articulate varied ways for leading a queer life under capitalism. Based on 60 qualitative interviews with LBT women living in the Israeli periphery, we argue that there are two major strategies they adopt to negotiate LBT sexualities, both manifested through homonormativity revealing ongoing experiences of LGBTphobia. The first strategy demonstrates an embodied politics of the everyday in which the women contentiously negotiate their “out” sexual identity. The second strategy displays a mode of assimilation in which the women assimilate or camouflage their sexuality, trying to avoid the position of being a token. Even though each practice has its characteristics, both practices manifest a political subjectivity that is produced through the choice to live in peripheral spaces, illustrating a nuanced and layered homonormativity that is unfolded through embodied mundane politics of the everyday.
