Summary, in English

This chapter provides an overview of LGBTQ+ organizations and movements in the Arabic-speaking world, as well as central themes and debates, including different strategies taken in translating terminology and developing a vocabulary to speak about nonnormative sex, gender, and identification in Arabic. Treating translation as performance, emphasizing the political impact of terminology, and viewing queer and trans activism through a performative lens, the chapter brings clarity to the controversy about increased queer visibility and the proliferation of LGBTQ+ rights discourse in the Arabic-speaking world.
