In her doctoral thesis Bärbel Schomers considers the relationship between discrimination and emancipation within lesbian, gay and trans* lifestyles. After presenting historical highlights stretching from late antiquity to current human rights discourse, she focuses on practices of coming out. In six interviews, Schomers observes a process model consisting of interior self-discovery, addressing significant others and public display. Thereby she equates the micrological construction of visibility with the inscription into a macrological social movement. The review carves out how the unspecified concept of discrimination derives from a dominant concept of emancipation that possessively politicizes the individual.
