ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on three groups of people now considered to be part of the sex and gender diversity ‘Big Tent’: kinky people, polyamorous people, and asexuals. Asexuals experience little or no sexual attraction to any gender (although they may have romantic feelings). They are one of the most recent additions to the queer Big Tent; the first usage of the term as an identity label appears in the late 1990s. More controversial is the inclusion of polyamorous people in the Big Tent. There is a great deal of intersectionality in the LGBT+ community. The LGBT+ community is rife with intersectionality, not just of race, gender, and social class, but of forms of sex and gender variance. The factor that binds together various subgroups of the LGBT+ community is that they all encounter many issues on the path to actualization.
