Document Summary
Adoption rather than foster system (examples in book) Homonormativity - members of homosexuality conforming to heteronormative ideals, members of queer community are whole heartedly against that - to normalize hetero norms. An uncle tom, a black person who doesn"t act black, for example, carlton from. Fresh prince - speaks to the fact that you"re only subscribed to an identity if you act a certain way. Assumption that men don"t want to be involved in parenthood. Children should not be a commodity or have practical value, process of acquiring child through monetization is interesting for homosexuals bc its hard to say i"m not buying this child. How does one separate societal compulsions vs natural compulsions. Gender & intersections: masculinities, fatherhood, and gay identities. Culturally specific assumption that heterosexuality and its resultant social institutions (including gender roles, division of labor, marriage, parenthood, kinship, etc. ) are normative socio-sexual structures in all societies.
