Sexual Questionnaire Analysis

Maybe in the past was weird to know an intersexual person, like hermaphrodites to mention an example. Nowadays, we all know or have seen a member of the “LGBT” community, but the huge difference is that we do not understand it. The supermodel Hanne Gaby Odiele said, "People want to put us in a box — male or female — but in reality, sex is on a spectrum." "Intersex is just proof of that." (CHAPPELL, 2017).

Scholars analyze these to determine the day to day life of each civilization and how body, desire, sex, and love play into the beliefs of the people. Plato’s view on love and expressions through the symposium, vary within themselves making the truth fall on a spectrum of love. In Longus’ novel the answers to these questions are more straight forward but the writing itself

This could have reflected the difference in the foundation and structure of beliefs. “It reveals the impact of identity and orientation on experiences with a narrative.” (Gillig and Murphy, 2016). Those with religious affiliations are more likely to see homosexuality as sinful or far from the lines of being “normal” due to their belief system, and that is their standpoint. Those who are also part of the LGBTQIA+ community gave more positive responses to the show for not only does it serve as representation, but they understood where they were coming from, and that is their own standpoint because of their past experiences and personal

In some cases, such as Shrek 2, it depicts the emerging of coming one’s true self just as many gays and lesbians must do. Another example of how the media/ televi?sion industry has changed in the ways they want to depict gays and lesbians is the example of Ellen. Although, it failed and they had to redirect the way of the show, they used Ellen to speak on LGBTQ issues. The Ellen show also helped to get recurring gay characters in double digits. (Gibson.pg.310) Another way that the depiction has changed is that gays and lesbians are the funny character rather than the suicidal one like in the 1980’s films, it shows the community as if all lesbian and gay are supposed to play this funny like role.

Women in the 1920s are somewhat similar to the LGBT Community. In a way gays are the new women. Just as females were struggling to attain their voting rights, the gays are also experiencing the same situation. Although few states allowed it, numerous states and countries still disapprove of same-sex marriage. However, the majority of the gay population are very open with their sexuality, and they’re demanding for marriage rights.

Throughout history, heterosexual hegemony has been challenged, but it has always persevered, despite the many internal contradictions. In heterosexual hegemony, gay and lesbian people can only be considered subordinates, in that they are still the ‘deviant’ subject. Heterosexual hegemony and the oppression of certain sexual relations, are imperative to the organization of class, State, gender, and race

Gender equality and feminism have been on the rise and some men have felt threated by it for the same reason the Bwaise men feel threatened; it takes away their power and masculinity. Wood talked with a couple, Isaac and Edwina, Isaac has been infected with HIV and Edwina is not. They discussed women’s growing rights, Edwina thought that women’s rights were a good thing because she felt she could have a say in her marriage without being abused. Isaac was most hesitant; he thinks that it is good that women have rights but “some women have divorced men because of the powers given to them … that’s why the number of prostitutes is increasing everyday” (125). This shows that men know women currently have the power to leave them, so they cannot treat them however they see fit.

“They are just confused” Well, you have been too. Even if you’re straight, you probably wondered at least one if maybe you could be gay. Having a different sexual orientation makes anyone asking themselves a lot of questions and it is sure not easy to, at first, realize it yourself and then, living with the complications that comes with it. They’re not even attracted by men or women, but by both, which leads to even more confusion. But when you finally accept who you are, you know that it is what you have always been and want to be all your

This meant that problems of sexuality and sometimes race did not apply to his perspectives or theories. Marx and Engels delved heavily into fetishism most notably the fetishism surrounding materialism, however they fail to explore this fetishism that infects our daily social relations. Moving on from Marx, Kinsman writes of materialism for queers, which directs attention to the ideological hegemony that promotes heteronormativity and attempts to destabilize homosexuality. Kinsman then moves on to talk about the historical and social relativity of sexuality. Though the common sense constructed by society would tell you that sexuality between men and woman are 'correct', this is culturally relative and dismissive of a world of history and diverse culture.

This can be reflected in the LGBT+Rights Movements, with activists wanting equality between straight cisgender people and LGBT+ people, and show how a person’s sexuality or gender identity does not reflect their personality. In a New York Times article on the 2015 Supreme Court decision granting marriage equality, Adam Liptak quoted Justice Kennedy, saying “without the recognition, stability and predictability marriage offers, their children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser. They also suffer the significant material costs of being raised by unmarried parents, relegated through no fault of their own to a more difficult and uncertain family life”. The marriage laws at issue here thus harm and humiliate the children of same-sex couples.” Although this quote is on the issue of marriage equality, it outlines the theme of the LGBT+ movements: they want equality, they want recognition, and they want safety. Like in the book, where Lee mostly uses the setting of a courtroom to make her point, one of the many LGBT+ Rights Movement’s tactics also uses the legal system to make their movement move forward, and uses its environment as a way to peacefully debate different discriminatory laws and policies.
