| Résumé: | In this paper, I consider the concept of identity as foundational to the heteronormative constructions of marriage manifesting in Christian interpretations of the institution. In an attempt to destabilize what I consider the congealing function of identity, I examine current research on sexuality fluidity emerging from Lisa Diamond's work. I argue that the evidence of sexual fluidity in women challenges stable identity markers characteristic of marriage conceived of within the male-female binary. Sexual fluidity, thus, ultimately disrupts heteronormative claims of Christian marriage. |
