  The St. Petersburg Times - News - Alternative-Sexuality Reps Stress Awareness
Discussion at the event, officially titled "Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals: Legislation, Culture and Society", centered around the idea that, although the 1990s had seen a general climate of liberalization with regard to sexual practices, a large portion of the Russian population remains misinformed and, often, intolerant of alternative sexual orientations.
While sexual orientation occupies a place in most human-rights discussions in European societies, Russian-based branches of international human-right groups have yet to introduce sexual-minorities issues to their agenda.
Sexual minorities, therefore, do not benefit from any of the legal status or protection - such as the right to marry and adopt or have children - that they enjoy in many Western countries.

 "Deconstructing McClary, by Elizabeth Sayrs"
And because the social constructions of sexuality, gender, and desire are crucial to the maintenance of patriarchal, hegemonic structures, music is political.
While it is of course not possible to describe all the complex intersections of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc. in a 220-page book, this use of "woman" simply adds to the impression of a uniform, essential feminine sexuality.
McClary's positing of an alternative female sexuality merely serves to uphold the male/female binary she and feminism seek to overthrow.

A close read of the program implies a little more than a five-day expression of alternative sexuality, however--CineKink has a mission under all that leather, latex and leering.
