"....coming out is not linear, that sexual identity formation must be reconceptualized as a process of describing one's social location within a changing social context."
Paula Rust is a prolific researcher but of course she views the data through the lens of her own perception. The statement I pulled out (above) is some indication that at least she realises that for many people sexuality is fluid, and changes over time, according to context.
It can be so difficult to discuss beliefs about sexuality, because this is a discussion about a person's very identity (not that identity is merely about sexuality) and so whenever we make assertions about sexuality in general, we're stepping on the toes of someone whose experience is different, and that can feel like a personal assault.
I really love to hear people's perceptions on this topic, and I think maybe we should open that on the forums? What do you think Nisaba?
Also, if more of us would add to the "Our Stories" section, I'd be ecstatic :-)
