This article analyzes the issue of political correctness. The problem of so-called real sexuality is fundamental in this sense. Political correctness in the area of sexuality appears as an attempt to regulate what is instinctive and therefore not subject to rule. The Lacanian model of the subverted subject reminds us again and again that there is a fundamental discrepancy between the issues and problems perceived by a stable subject seeking logos and creating its sense of meaning in this field and the real (and thus devoid of reflection from a hermeneutical distance) course of life understood as purposeful in itself. It is worth noting that unconventional sexuality (homosexuality, etc.) is gaining more and more political significance over time. Of course, it is not directly related to political decisions, but it significantly affects the practice of politics and related phenomena such as political strategies or exerting influence.
