Homonormativity

Homonormativity is the adoption of heteronormative ideals and constructs onto LGBT culture and identity.[1][2][3] It is predicated on the assumption that the norms and values of heterosexuality should be replicated and performed among homosexual people.[1] Those who assert this theory claim homonormativity selectively privileges cisgender homosexuality (that is coupled and monogamous) as worthy of social acceptance.[4]
