Concept asserting heterosexuality as the only social norm
Heteronormativity
Heteronormativity is the definition of heterosexuality as the normative human sexuality. It assumes that sexual and marital relations are most fitting between people of the opposite sex and upholds the gender binary (i.e., that there are only two distinct, opposite genders). Heteronormativity creates and upholds a social hierarchy based on sexual orientation with the practice and belief that heterosexuality is deemed as the societal norm. A heteronormative view, therefore, involves alignment of biological sex, sexuality, gender identity and gender roles. Heteronormativity has been linked to heterosexism and homophobia, and the effects of societal heteronormativity on lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals have been described as heterosexual or "straight" privilege.
