Firstly asexual, secondly heterosexual

Organizer: FHOBIT

“I have been to gay clubs wearing obviously gay T-shirt, a pink triangle or some gay symbol like that, and the doorman has asked med if I know this is a gay club and I want to go in still. The assumption is that because I am disabled I cannot be gay”

There are many assumptions made about the sexuality of disabled people. Sometimes you are seen as asexual, and it is often taken for granted that you are a heterosexual. The erroneous assumptions affect everything from sexual education to who will be let into the club.

Lecture about control needs of hetero society and the body cult of LGBT society; connections between heterosexuality and functionality; constricting spaces, advantages of being disregarded, and the price LGBT society pays to be recognised by straights

Participants: Lars Grönvik
