Prior research and the #MeToo movement have recognized the complexities of sexual consent and how it contributes to experiences of sexual violence. A heteronormative perspective often dominates discussions on sexual violence at the expense of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual minoritized individuals’ (LGBTQ+) experiences. Utilizing focus groups with LGBTQ+ people to discuss sexual consent, themes relating to sex education, defining sex in queer relationships, trauma and victimization, and overlapping gender and sexual orientation identities emerged. Findings are presented in the context of feminist and queer theoretical perspectives with particular focus on power inequity.

先前的研究和#MeToo 运动已经认识到性同意的复杂性以及它如何导致性暴力经历。异性恋观点经常以牺牲女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿和其他性少数群体 (LGBTQ+) 的经历为代价，主导有关性暴力的讨论。利用与 LGBTQ+ 人群的焦点小组讨论性同意、与性教育相关的主题、在酷儿关系中定义性、创伤和受害以及重叠的性别和性取向身份出现。调查结果是在女权主义和酷儿理论观点的背景下呈现的，特别关注权力不平等。
