Abstract
The impact of new urban order on sexualized spaces in cities is discussed. The interweaving of urban governance and sexual citizenship agendas produces particular kinds of sexual spaces at the exclusion of other kinds. The sexual restructuring of cities is a powerful component of the new homonormativity, a broader ideological project tied to the logic of assimilationist sexual citizenship.
