Research on armed conflict's gender dynamics has expanded significantly in the past decade. However, research in this field pays little attention to sexual orientation and gender identity. Moreover, where scholarship focused on violence against sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals during war exists, it is largely divorced from work on gender-based violence (GBV) in conflict-related environments and from sexuality studies. In this article, we integrate these bodies of work and argue for the theoretical expansion of GBV as a conceptual, empirical, and analytic category to study and explain targeted attacks against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and otherwise queer individuals. We suggest two theoretical interventions to better equip existing GBV frameworks to explain violence perpetrated against SGM people. We argue, first, that violence targeting SGM communities is GBV, as sexuality and gender identity are integral components of gender, and second, that analyzing gender dynamics adds to our understanding of when, how, and why targeting SGM individuals composes part of an organization's regulatory “repertoire of violence.” We examine violence in Colombia's civil war as an illustrative application of our approach and we identify future, fruitful research avenues with important policy implications for studying and responding to GBV during war.

酷儿基于性别的暴力奖学金：综合研究议程

在过去十年中，对武装冲突性别动态的研究显着扩大。然而，该领域的研究很少关注性取向和性别认同。此外，在存在关注战争期间针对性和性别少数群体 (SGM) 暴力的学术研究的情况下，它在很大程度上与冲突相关环境中的性别暴力 (GBV) 工作和性研究脱节。在本文中，我们整合了这些工作，并主张将 GBV 作为概念、经验和分析类别进行理论扩展，以研究和解释针对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和其他酷儿个体的针对性攻击。我们提出了两种理论干预措施，以更好地装备现有的 GBV 框架来解释针对 SGM 人的暴力行为。我们争辩说，首先，针对 SGM 社区的暴力行为是 GBV，因为性和性别认同是性别不可或缺的组成部分，其次，分析性别动态有助于我们了解何时、如何以及为何针对 SGM 个人构成组织监管“暴力行为的一部分” 。” 我们将哥伦比亚内战中的暴力行为作为我们方法的说明性应用进行研究，并确定未来富有成果的研究途径，对研究和应对战争期间的 GBV 具有重要的政策意义。
