LGBT Hareketin Gelişimi, Kurumsallaşması ve Batı Medeniyet Projesine Dönüşümü.

This study analyzes the development, institutionalization, and globalization of the LGBT movement and also examines how the movement has been constructed in the context of rights discourses and implemented as a civilization project. The main question this study examines is, "How has situating gay rights in the context of human rights discourse reflected onto strengthening Western hegemony over the global South?" In this context, the study first descriptively analyzes the development, institutionalization, and globalization of the LGBT movement in the 20th century, then critically analyzes the globalization of the gay movement and the process of it being supported by international, transnational, and supranational institutions. Lastly, the study will question how the rights discourse of the gay movement has been constructed as a civilization project, as well as its functionality in maintaining Western hegemony. The article will use academic literature, reports, and public research in this respect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
