Hi Eva you've picked a very exciting and absorbing topic. I agree, fear of (disabled) sexuality is very much alive in the able bodied community - especially when able bodied means the disability service and support industry! I don't have a direct reference to marginalisation and sexuality but the following reference might be helpful when you come to unpack the concept of sexuality. Warner, M.1999. The Trouble with Normal: Sex, Politics and the ethics of queer life New York, The Free Press Also don't go passed stuff by Richard Shuttleworth and Tom Shakespeare Gook luck best Carol ----- Original Message Follows ----- > Hey all, > > My name is Eva and I'm doing my thesis on why the disabled > community is so afraid of sexuality.
