Abstract
According to Jeffrey Weeks (1998), the sexual citizenship is a product of feminist and gay & lesbian movements of the second half of the 20th Century (so called New social movements). Sexual citizenship is then a multi-dimensional concept of: inclusion, belonging, equality and justice, rights and new responsibilities.
These are framed with (gender/sexual) identities, sexual behavior, body which are re-constructed, lived and experienced in an instant interaction with gendered (male-dominated) and heteronormative environment (Weeks' moment of transgression) (but also with other characteristics such as the ethnicity, class, age, etc.). In my paper, I will discuss the challenges to the concept that are brought by a specific post-socialist and (post)transitive Czech experience - an experience where no new social movements naturally occurred; where civil society is developed only slowly and in odd "hops"; where gay and lesbian activism embraced anti-feminism and chauvinism; and where gay and lesbian activism achieved its human-rights successes rather through framing of own identity into a medical stigmatizing discourse, and through closetedness or (internalized) homophobia.
