Anonymous asked: What does "heteronormativity" mean?
Hi, there! ”Heteronormativity” is vaguely the same as “heterosexism”
“Heteronormativity” is essentially the idea that “being straight” is normal, that non-“straight” sexual orientations or gender identities are thus weird. Heternormativity includes the idea that people are either “gay” or “straight” or possibly “bisexual.”
Rather, FIGHTprejudice knows that human sexuality and gender identity issues are far more complicated than “gay/straight” or “man/woman.” That is, while people may identify as “gay” or “straight,” the reality about sexual preferences is that they are far from uniform and defy easy labels.
