    Though transsexuals have this oasis from judgment, bisexuals often do not share the same comforts. Bisexuals of both binary genders suffer a disregard of their identity from the outside heterosexual world. Females deal with their sexuality being seen not as an identity but as a label that pornography companies throw around as an erotic bonus to anything that needs it. The female bisexual label is entirely normalized. Jenny Kangasvuo (2007) writes: In porn magazines, the term 'bisexuality' serves multiple purposes and it is not pinned…

    Heteronormativity is the assumption that everyone is heterosexual. This is obviously not the case in today’s society; Lesbian feminism is the resistance to this ideal, it “links sexual desire for other women, women’s independent lifestyles, and women’s friendships with the idea of women’s culture and knowledge, producing a movement of resistance to a gendered social order” (Lorber pg.152). Lesbian feminism moves to show society that there is no such thing as gendered roles without heteronormativity, with this comes a great debate on whether this is just a resistance to the conventional family or…

    Polygamy in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS) allegedly began in 1831 (Bennion 2011:23?). Mormon fundamentalists subscribe to the line of Mormon theology which was founded by Joseph Smith (Bennion 2011:23). It includes traditional gender role beliefs, religious communalism, and polygamy. However, many “mainstream Mormons” aspire to distance themselves from polygamy. In North America alone, polygamy is practiced by between 38,000 and 60,00 persons, despite its illegality in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (Bennion 2011:23).…

    Therefore, I think the argument presented by the author is unsuccessful and has really drawn the readers into false dilemmas, i.e. consider the author's assertion that, "…that there are merely two alternatives to consider when there are essentially more than two"2, in this case, several other reasons (Esteve, Albert & Ron 280). Several couples are having similar sex relationships and are not permitted to get married in most states in the United States of America3. Consequently, some partners cannot afford the financial obligations that come with marriage while others have personal reasons concerning having been opted just to remain cohabiting and not getting married (Vaughn 484). However, the authors state merely three reasons why couples choose to engage in trial marriage through cohabitation thus opting to delay in getting married, i.e., due to abundant lust in the society, observing several marriages getting broken make it seem precarious to some people and finally, due to lost confidence in precisely judging durable marriages. Notably, I consider that the author has left out several reasons or possibilities that usually make couples to cohabitate without getting…

    Some Mormonism denominational and theological biases which are evident in Robinson’s debate were found mainly, in my opinion, in the doctrine of salvation. Robinson stated, that apart from Mormons faith I Christ what is more important for them to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and be saved, than stating that they are not going to be saved based on their theological “error” in believing in the Book of Mormon. Thus, then concluding that perhaps Christians are saved by the grace of Christ or by “proper” theology. This statement is both biased and confusion.…

    At what point are sexual actions considered “real sex”? Could an act of oral stimulation of the genitals be equivalent to penetrative, penile-vaginal sex? A society dominated by heterosexism and, in turn, heteropatriarchy, holds the discourse that, while all sexual acts may be equally pleasurable, one act, in particular, is the only legitimate way to “make love”. By assuming that every person is inherently “straight”, heterosexism poses a compelling argument as to why penile-vaginal sex is the only action that is marked as a “homerun” on the scoreboard.…
