The term was never meant to replace the term LGBT+; rather, the LGBT+ community with its own labels and theories serve as the starting point for the concept of pomosexuality. The book draws similarities to the postmodernism art movement, stating that the beauty of Postmodernism (pomosexuality) cannot be appreciated without looking at its roots in modernism (the LGBT+ community). The book acknowledges that the "neatly organized" sexual orientation labels found within the LGBT+ community might fit some, but not all individuals can fit into those labels. |
