Homonormativity
Homonormativity
Homonormativity was first coined by Lisa Duggan in her work The New Homonormativity: The Sexual Politics of Neoliberalism where she describes “the new homonormativity – it is a politics that does not contest dominant heteronormative assumptions and institutions [such as gay marriage or the right to serve openly in the military] – but upholds and sustains them while promising the possibility of a demobilized gay constituency and a privatised, depoliticized culture anchored in domesticity and consumption” (Duggan).
