Eve Sedgwick & Epistomology

I was having Trouble with publishing my post. At home Ethernet problems. Please excuse me for my tardiness.

Epistemology can be defined as the study of theories of knowledge or ways of knowing, particularly in the context of the limits or validity of the various ways of knowing. Eve Sedgwick speaks on the oppression of homosexuals. She discusses why homosexuals are afraid of stepping out of the closet. The main reason of why homosexuals are afraid of stepping out of the closet is because they fear the responses that they will receive from heterosexual social groups of the world. To be more elaborate, homxosexuals tend to fear the disapproval from religious sects, co-workers, friends, family members etc. Homosexuals would like to be truthful, but are aware of the consequences of their acquisitions.
