关于性行为和公民身份的文献表明，国家利用立法来产生、管理和保护性和种族上的“纯粹”公民的方式多种多样。在欧洲帝国的背景下，这个公民是异性恋、一夫一妻制的白人。在后殖民乌干达的背景下，鸡奸法的发展表明，这一理想公民是异性恋、一夫一妻制，但没有受到当代西方理想的玷污(这无疑是自相矛盾的)。这项工作涉及殖民立法文本，最著名的是1950年的《乌干达刑法》。然后，作者通过对1999年至2013年反同性恋法案和法案以及议会记录的分析，对此进行了三角测量。根据这些数据，有人认为乌干达对理想公民的构建不仅是殖民主义的反动结果，而且也是反全球化意识形态的表现，这种意识形态在全球LGBTI权利运动迅速非政府组织化之后加剧。
Literature on sexuality and citizenship has demonstrated the myriad of ways that states use legislation to produce, regulate, and protect a sexually and racially “pure” citizen. In the context of the European imperial powers, this citizen is heterosexual, monogamous, and white. In the postcolonial Ugandan context, the development of sodomy legislation shows that this ideal citizen is heterosexual, monogamous, and yet untarnished by contemporary Western ideals (which is undoubtedly paradoxical). This work engages with colonial legislative texts, most notably the Ugandan Penal Code Act of 1950. The author then triangulates this with an analysis of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill and Act and parliamentary record from 1999-2013. With this data, it is argued that the Ugandan construct of an ideal citizen is not only a reactionary result of colonialism, but that it is also demonstrative of the anti-globalization ideology that has heightened in the wake of rapid NGO ization of the global LGBTI rights movement.
