While same-sex marriage debates have captured public attention, it is but one component of a broader discussion regarding the role of marriage in a changing society. To inform this discussion, I draw on qualitative, Internet survey data from 102 self-identified asexual individuals. I find that asexual relationships are complicated and nuanced in ways that have implications for a GLBTQ political agenda, including same-sex marriage recognition. In addition, findings indicate that assumptions of sex and sexuality in relationships are problematic and that present language for describing relationships is limiting. Findings suggest a social justice agenda for marginalized sexualities should be broader in scope than same-sex marriage.
虽然同性婚姻辩论吸引了公众的关注,但它只是关于婚姻在不断变化的社会中所扮演角色的更广泛讨论的一个组成部分。为了为这一讨论提供信息,我借鉴了来自102名自我认同为无性恋者的定性互联网调查数据。我发现无性恋关系复杂且微妙,这对包括同性婚姻认可在内的 LGBTQ 政治议程产生了影响。此外,研究结果表明,关系中对性和性取向的假设存在问题,并且目前用于描述关系的语言具有局限性。研究结果表明,为边缘化性取向制定的社会正义议程应比同性婚姻具有更广泛的范围。
