"What’s the point of fighting for gender equality if the patriarchy is an immutable institution? This resignation is what makes heteropessimism a conservative force. You have to believe in the possibility of change for it to happen. According to historian Hanne Blank, who wrote the book Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality, heterosexuality as a concept was only described as such in 1868, the year when the word was first recorded. Károly Mária Kertbeny, an Austro-Hungarian journalist, coined both the term heterosexual and homosexual to protest laws banning sodomy in Germany. In other words, until that time, the definition was limited to the sexual act, and not the participant. Nor did it signify a cultural identity. ⁠ ⁠ If heterosexuality is a culture, and culture is mutable, that means there’s hope. Even today, the idea persists that straight culture is “natural,” whatever that means. The criteria Susan Sontag set out in “Notes on ‘Camp,’” however, like artifice and exaggeration, can be just as neatly applied to the straight world. Wedding receptions, baby showers, and bachelor parties are all good examples." ⁠ ⁠ Clara Drummond rejects the inevitability of heteronormativity, even for people who "are" "straight", in both English and Portuguese at the link in bio.
