匈牙利和其他后社会主义国家的右翼政客对男女同性恋者在公共领域的活动进行暴力攻击，并对性少数群体进行言语攻击，这表明性问题在后社会主义过渡问题中的中心地位。这篇文章讨论了当前学术界对后社会主义国家同性恋恐惧症的解释的局限性。借鉴匈牙利LGBT活动的民族志实地考察，它认为，通过开展公共项目，主张多种形式的身份和社区，LGBT的人，虽然往往被描绘成被动的对象，匈牙利的过渡不断变化的权力配置，提出了一个激进的挑战，传统的民族和跨国意义之间的界限。右翼民族主义者以公开暴力回应的正是这一挑战--一种“古怪”的祝福。
Violent attacks on gay and lesbian activities in the public sphere, coupled with verbal aggression against sexual minorities by right-wing politicians in Hungary and other postsocialist countries, illustrate the centrality of sexuality in questions of postsocialist transition. This article discusses the limits of current scholarly interpretations of homophobia in postsocialist countries. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork on LGBT activism in Hungary, it argues that by undertaking public projects that assert multiple forms of identity and community, LGBT people, although often portrayed as passive objects of the changing configurations of power of Hungary’s transition, have raised a radical challenge to traditional imaginings of the boundaries between national and transnational meanings. It is this challenge—the proposal of a “queering” of belonging—to which right-wing, nationalist actors have responded with public violence.
