Love is a pious act: Butch Muslim Masculinities, Gendered Subjectivities and Parenthood in Singapore
In Singapore, discrimination toward LGBT citizens has been reinforced through a monolithic notion of the traditional Asian family.
Drawing upon frameworks of intersectionality and piety, Dr Ad Maulod (Duke-NUS) explore how ‘butches’ negotiate, contest and reconcile their queer practices as Muslim daughters around “coming out,” raising children with same-sex partners, biological parenthood and their perceptions of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART).
