A reminder, to me anyway, of how to explain why nationality and sexuality should be, and are, studied together:

“the national project - animating the raison d’etre of every country and political society in the history of the world - maintains itself in complicated ways by regulating kinship, that is, by enforcing rules that reproduce the membership of that society and by establishing zones of legitimate sexual relationships.”

- Jacqueline Stevens, ‘The Politics of LGBTQ Scholarship’, GLQ Forum, 10:3, 2004.
