LGBTI Equal Rights Association for Western Balkans and Turkey
The aim of this paper is to present asexuality as a relevant topic for gender studies
and queer theory through the scope of theories of asexuality and the manner of its social
expression. We start off by explicating theoretical frames in which asexuality is understood
and key features of its defining. Then we deal with the ways in which asexual people face
discrimination. We write about manners of expression of asexuality in society and about
changes it brings in domain of relationships. We offer the analysis of the development,
as well as the present state of researches and theories related to asexuality. Finally, in the
paper we discuss asexuality as part of queer politics and whether it is a social change in
comparison to LGB politics.
