What “homonormativity” is supposed to mean: A behavioral, social, and cultural standard developed to mirror heteronormative expectations and project them onto gay bodies and relationships.

What it doesn’t mean: “Gay men are oppressing the rest of the LGBT, just like the hets.”

To think of homonormativity as “heteronormativity, but gay” misses how they correlate. Homonormativity stems directly from heteronormativity. It’s a respectability politic.

This means that homonormativity is not some special peer oppression, but an extension and expression of heteronormative oppression.

In other words, this is not something we’re doing to ourselves. This is something being done to us.
