Wellard everyone should have the right to enjoy their body through physical minority. Homophobic attitudes can prevent this, make them feel excluded. Sport reproduces: homophobia, heterosexism, heteronormativity, and hegemonic masculinity. Sport is highly regulated around sexuality: regulation exposes sexual minorities to discrimination/threats/violence, and keeps sexual minorities out. Sport forms norms about who should play, makes minorities feel excluded. Athletes/sport participants become enforcers of codes of masculinity and heteronormativity. Reinforce ideas about what is acceptable in sport. Sexuality: attraction, acts, practices, behaviors, emotions, values, roles, identities in relation to our sexual/erotic lives. It is bio-psycho-social (has to do with pleasure, fantasy, and desire as much as biology). Essentialist regards desires, behavioral predilection, and identities as the products of natural, fixed, and innate human characteristics. Constructionism emphasizes social, cultural, political and historical factors that produce and shape desires, acts and identities.
