Document Summary
Dq: given our discussion last week, what might a sociologist say about the survey questions asking about peoples sexuality and only having the answer option for male and female. Dq: how, if at all, are there questions tied to informational erasure. Sexuality must not be thought of as a kind of natural. Given which power tries to hold in check, or as an obscure domain which knowledge tried gradually to uncover. It is the name that can be given to a historical construct. In 1860 is when the term of homosexuality first arose and was punishable by death. During this time, sociologists focused on sexual deviance; how did people that were given labels, such as gay or queer, manage themselves and act in society, Sexuality is shaped by social forces that are culturally distinct (symbolic interactionalism) Variability of sexuality forms, beliefs, ideologies, and behaviour.
