Sexuaility

Question 1

Weeks Fluid, not important

Answer 1

Sexuality can be an important aspect of identity. Not many people would state ’I am heterosexual’ in relation to their identity but to say ‘I am gay’ makes a statement about belonging and your relationship to dominant sexual codes. This is because it is seen as the norm to be heterosexual.

Question 2

Woodward Postmodernist important

Answer 2

movements such as gay pride can be created through groups of people coming together who share the same norms and values on their sexuality. Factors which help these groups to form are ones such as celebrities coming out over social media, allowing people to feel involved and confident to come out themselves. In the postmodernist view, these groups may have come about as these new social movements are developed further.
