告别“默认的异性恋者”——男女同志身份认同研究

End of the “tolerant heterosexual identity”——a study on identification of gay and lesbian

本文通过对6名男同志和8名女同志的半结构访谈,探讨男女同志身份认同的历程。本文认为,异性恋中心主义的象征暴力赋予每个个体"默认的异性恋者"身份,对于具备同性情欲的个体而言,构建起同志身份认同是一个身份转轨的过程。这个过程由对同性的性欲望和浪漫感受开启,对基于性向身份的知识的学习贯穿期间,社会边缘处境和家庭构成认同的过程的障碍,个体可能为做一名异性恋者而努力,包括寻求心理治疗、与异性恋爱,但以失败告终。同志身份的潜台词是一位失败的异性恋者,但同志身份的意义在于终结误读。

This research studies the identification of gay and lesbian by interviewing six gays and eight les- bians. Everyone is tolerant heterosexual identity in the context of heterosexism leading to a kind of symbolic vio- lence, especially for those individuals with same - sex eroticism. For them, the construction of homosexual identity is a process of identity transition, which begins with the feel of sex and romance for persons in the same gender. They acquire relevant knowledge on the basis of their sexual orientation. Marginalization and family structure ac- counte for the impedance of sexual identity. As a remedy, individuals try their best to be straight. For instance, they may turn to psychotherapy or go into a normal male -female relationship, which are proved unsuccessful. The subtext to homosexual identity is a failed heterosexual. This identity, however, succeeds in terminating the misrea- ding of sexual identity.
