尽管它专注于空间，权力和主观性的问题，以及作为一个突出的家移民相关的奖学金，地理包括对移民和性的交叉点，以及对他们通过移民法联合监管的研究很少。本文透过美国移民法中对同性恋排斥的冷战实践的透镜来审视移民与性的交叉。通过绘制同性恋排斥和现行移民法之间的联系，我认为，同性恋排斥是不是美国移民法的历史异常的一部分，移民法具有重要的社会控制功能，因此，在地理上的移民研究人员参加移民控制超出边境执法本身。
Despite its preoccupation with issues of space, power, and subjectivity, as well as being a prominent home for immigration-related scholarship, geography includes little research on the intersection of immigration and sexuality as well as on their joint regulation through immigration law. This paper looks at the intersection of immigration and sexuality through the lens of the Cold War practice of homosexual exclusion in US immigration law. By drawing linkages between homosexual exclusion and current immigration law, I argue that homosexual exclusion is not an aberrant part of US immigration law history, that immigration law has important social control functions, and that, as a result, immigration researchers in geography attend to immigration control beyond border enforcement per se.
