My oldest daughter found out very quickly that she could be guaranteed good grades at college in her soft sciences courses like anthropology and sociology, if she threw in terms like *heteronormative*.

I need to get new glasses; I actually read the group’s name as Sociopaths for Women in Society.

And this is a problem why?

[Post Toasties]

How about ‘homonormative’?:)

>> Heterophobes are very disturbed people

LOL!

I never could understand the “-phobe” thing.

“phobia” == “fear”

I’m not afraid of the fags. I just can’t stand them!

Therefore, color me “homogynous”.

"Characters in love are surrounded by music, flowers, candles, magic, fire, balloons, fancy dresses, dim lights, dancing and elaborate dinners," the researchers observed. "Fireflies, butterflies, sunsets, wind and the beauty and power of nature often provide the setting for - and a link to the naturalness of - hetero-romantic love."

As opposed to what for homosexual *love*? Bathroom stalls? Homo parades during Mardi Gras? Whips, chains, and other bondage tools?

LOL.. they can never keep their stories/lies straight.

I understand one of the female producers of the Tinker Bell movie introduced several ‘homonormative’ scenes that had to be cut out before it was releasable. Gays are indeed targeting children.

apparently, if you go to college enough, you are educated directly to the state of idiocy

Anal lube...

[freekitty]

I would say it’s more likely to be caused by the human perverts in this country.

[wjcsux]

Hetrosexuality is normal, Homosexuality is abnormal. Nuff said.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I sure hope taxpayer dollars aren’t being used to fund this “research”. This is some really sick stuff.

[worst-case scenario]

Good thing that this is exactly the sort of academic time-wasting that will never affect anything real anywhere.

"These films provide powerful portraits of a multifaceted and pervasive heterosexuality that likely facilitates the reproduction of heteronormativity."

Duhhhhhhhh. The reproduction of "heteronormativity" is the only way to advance reproduction of the species. This crapola's only redeeming value is its comical stupidity.

[djf]

Comeon... any film that has seven short guys with names like SLEEPY and LOVEY and POKEY - hey, that's not normal!! Not by a long shot!
;-)

Well, yeah... aren't those YOUR "family values"?

Their downfall will be the, uh, "difficulties" presented to them in the course of "family planning".

The LORD is in charge.

"These films provide powerful portraits of a multifaceted and pervasive heterosexuality that likely facilitates the reproduction of heteronormativity."

But if sexual orientation is purely genetically determined like gays often insist, none of this would make any difference. So is all this hair tearing amongst these heterophobes therefore pure intolerance and bigotry?

“A description of my research interests:
My sociological work concerns the interplay of bodies, sexuality, and gender, and I am interested in exploring these intersections within everyday life. My research has examined gender differences in pubertal experience and first sex; how kids’ bodies are gendered in preschool; how gender identity serves as a form of social control during labor and childbirth; how college women (sorority women, athletes, and feminists) construct appearance routine; and how gender and sexuality are entangled in the advice experts give to parents gender-neutral child rearing. Currently, I am working on a project examining the (hetero)sexual socialization of very young children by parents and through media.” - Karin Martin
