Sexual minorities and sexual citizenship

The concept of sexual citizenship is based on the argument that citizens’ rights and entitlements have long been influenced by issues of sexuality, including both heterosexual and same-sex forms. There have been major advances in terms of ensuring that gays and lesbians have access to the same sexual citizenship rights as heterosexuals. However, there are debates over whether sexual citizenship rights focused on same-sex couples still exclude and marginalize some others. There are also questions regarding whether Western concepts of sexual citizenship are applicable to other societies internationally.Carol Johnso
