Human sexuality isn't always a matter of male/female and heterosexual/homosexual. As science marches on and taboos slowly, progressively shatter, more and more people are starting to realize that realities exist far beyond the commonly accepted binaries. Gender studies, sociology and psychology courses alike delve into the myriad complexities that make up the variances. Students exploring these subjects in depth will find the internet overflowing with highly informative supplementary resources. Far more than these 50 blogs exist, of course, but the following do make for an excellent introduction to some of the perspectives one can find online.
