EXISTENTIAL DEBATE ON LGBTQIA
The Existential Debate on LGBTQIA: Simone de Beauvoir’s Perspective

Today, the debate on queering has intensified as people, across almost all societies,

voice their concerns over individual freedom and, most importantly, the right to choose one’s

identity. In essence, the LGBTQIA debate is about identity politics as advocates pursue social

justice in the form of protection from persecution, discrimination, and prejudice because of

one’s sexual orientation. In her article, Simone de Beauvoir discusses, in depth, about what

being a woman means juxtaposing two things: women as subjects or objects. Her view is that

women hold the power to determine how they perceive themselves and by extension, how

society perceives them. On account of that premise, de Beauvoir comes out as an avid

supporter of a more contemporary approach toward life especially as pertain to individuals’

sexual orientation.

Identity politics have rendered members of the LGBTQIA vulnerable to

discrimination and harassment especially in societies that do not embrace such kind of

individual freedom. As a result, instead of achieving social justice, the debate about the place

and position of the LGBTQIA community breeds cultural antagonism. In support,

Sudenkaarne (2021) noted that identity politics, as it is experienced in today’s societies,

signifies “a wide range of political activity and theorizing founded in the shared experiences

of injustice of members of certain social groups” (p. 21). For example, if members of the

LGTBQIA community are denied voting rights, then it becomes an issue of now their being

as human beings, but as people who deviate from the binary social system whereby

heterosexuality is the dominant sexual orientation. Insight gained is that such groups are

objectified and through such objectification, they are denied basic rights thereby undermining

their capacity to even demonstrate their civic responsibility. De Beauvoir (2008) would agree

because, based on her view, “… it is not the biological condition of women per se that

constitutes a handicap: it is how a woman construes this condition which renders it positive
