Homonormativity = Assimilation:

“The “LGβT Rights” movement is inherently assimilationist. They seek to soften the irreconcilable, our Quεεɾness, by seeking union with the status quo.” Homonormativity serves as a force to commodify what little identity we struggle to create.” “The totality of the forces siding with capitalism at the moment can be seen here. We are an anti-identity because our identities are in constant conflict with the ruling class.” “Should we support things like “Same-Seχ Marriage”, which may improve the lives of many of us? … I don’t think it is really something to oppose in anything beyond theory. However, many of us do not cheer being assimilated into a feudal institution, a contract with the bourgeois state.”
