Gender nonconformity
Submitted by Elizabeth on 11 October 2007 - 9:02pm.
Mojave66, I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'd say that what ticks people off about gay people is precisely the fact that they are not conforming to the expected gender norms, which are in themselves heterosexist. In that sense, it's all about gender nonconformity. Why else would the word 'gay' when used as a weapon aimed at boys or young men attack not only their sexuality but also their basic masculinity.
