What are the particular challenges that sexualization offers to usno matter our orientationand how might (or might not) sexual citizenship offer us a way of surviving and navigating a sexualisation culture?
*Heteronormativity is the phenomenon whereby heterosexual sexuality is made the normative standard for sexual orientation in Western society; people of other sexual orientations notably here LGBT are then made to answer to that standard in how they think about themselves conduct their lives and view media and culture.
