Abstract
Recent research shows that queer youth increasingly reject traditional sexual labels
in favour of more fluid identifications. Despite well-rehearsed debates around queer
identity politics under neoliberalism, there is a dearth of research examining how
queerness is understood and expressed in rural Australia. To address this knowledge
gap, this article examines bisexual and queer young women’s understandings of sexual
labels in Tasmania, Australia. Drawing on Jose Esteban Muñoz’s disidentifications, we
argue that while neoliberalism and homonormativity do influence rural queer women’s
identity politics, their lived experiences present specific challenges that draw attention
to the urban-centricity of homonormativity.
