This thesis expands the analytical and theoretical conception of homonationalism beyond its imperial and neoliberal conception through the Philippine queer rights and welfare movement. Drawing from social movement theories, it conceptualizes this movement as a network of organizations and actors bound by shared identifications and goals who collectively engage in political and cultural activities to demand for reforms that will improve the lives of queer citizens. ,And drawing from broader nationalism studies, it treats homonationalism as a discourse, a project, and ethics of queer national belonging. The thesis, then, centers on the varying forms of homonationalism Filipinx activists mobilize and encounter as they make demands and deploy particular tactics. To make sense of these demands and tactics, it combines insights from the political process model, ideological framing, resource mobilization theory, everyday resistance, and queer mess. Grounded on ethnographic observations of movement events and in-depth interviews with thirty-six activists conducted from February 2022 to February 2023, the analysis centers on the different political, cultural, and material conditions that generate varying forms of nationalist discourses around queer issues.
