- There is a silence surrounding sexualities such as genderqueer, skoliosexual, pansexual and asexual. These 'other' sexualities operate outside of the traditional sex-gender-desire binaries that now frame both same-sex and opposite-sex attraction.

- However, these identities are only a few of those that fall under the umbrella term queer, which includes other identities such as pansexual, asexual, demisexual, skoliosexual, polysexual, same gender loving, kink, polyamorous, and others.
