This article will focus on LGBTQ people's perceptions of violence in the United Kingdom in the years following the advent of same-sex marriage using original empirical evidence. These perceptions will be discussed by focussing on the awareness of hate crime legislation, the role of law in constraining homophobia alongside intersections of racism, and of the impact of civil law reform protecting LGBTQ rights. This may be evidenced in many ways, which this article will recount, including demonstrating awareness of hate crimes, avoiding overt shows of affection, and the use of safe spaces to exhibit their sexuality. Empirical evidence will be used to suggest that despite the advent of hate crime protections, increased relationship recognition rights, and greater representation, many LGBTQ people anticipate violence or harm because of their sexuality. This article will use theoretical and empirical analysis to discuss the ways in which violence may manifest in the perceptions of LGBTQ participants and the significance of such perceptions in the ‘post-equality’ society.

英国 LGBTQ 人群对暴力的看法和身份自我调节

本文将重点关注 LGBTQ 人群在同性婚姻出现后的几年中对英国暴力行为的看法，并使用原始经验证据。这些看法将通过关注仇恨犯罪立法的认识、法律在限制同性恋恐惧症和种族主义交叉点方面的作用以及民法改革保护 LGBTQ 权利的影响来讨论。这可以通过多种方式得到证明，本文将详述，包括展示对仇恨犯罪的认识，避免公开表达爱意，以及使用安全空间来展示他们的性行为。经验证据将用于表明，尽管出现了仇恨犯罪保护、增加了关系识别权和更大的代表性，许多 LGBTQ 人士会因为他们的性取向而预料到暴力或伤害。本文将使用理论和实证分析来讨论暴力可能在 LGBTQ 参与者的观念中表现出来的方式以及这种观念在“后平等”社会中的意义。
