Abstract
This paper argues that there are two opposing tendencies in relation to sexuality in the health, development and rights fields. The first is to deny the role of sexuality in shaping the institutional and social fabric of society; the second is to explain all experience and subordination through the lens of sexual identity. This paper uses the concept of sexual citizenship to identify diverse ways in which sexuality shapes access to resources, recognition and representation. It illustrates how other sources of subordination such as race, ethnicity and class intersect with sexuality, creating potential for alliances between diverse issue-based and identity-based social movements for policy change.
