Is heteronormativity a natural complex of the human being?

The concept of Heteronormativity is bogus, in my opinion. Humans are not the only species that engage in homosexual activities. While natural reproduction requires heterosexuality, sexual acts also arise from other impulses.

That looks like “science” from Liberty University or Oral Roberts U. Someone’s justification for an oppressive idea without real data.

What science are you referring to, the fact that homosexuality is present within numerous other species of the animal kingdom? Also if you are going to fault people for their opinions lacking concrete evidence, then perhaps you should present such evidence to bolster your claim. Just a helpful hint. It’s also a lot easier to interpret your meaning when you type in complete sentences.

@SloanFaunus Kinsey’s studies on sexual orientation are well documented and well respected. I’m talking about people, not animals. Studies on animal homosexuality are also documented but I am not familiar with them.

But the link you have is to a conjecture that has no data to back it.

And I did type a complete sentence. I used an unstated noun. It follows from the previous sentence.

Heteronormativity is a social construct.

Heteronormativity is made up just as gender is made up. Biologically, men and women have different traits, but our mind is what starts associating outside things to each sex. So it’s our reasoning that’s working, not nature.
[addition] Oh, and to answer our second question:
I think gender is too strong in our society and causes many problems. I think it would be a better world if it didn’t exist. That being said, it’s obvious that I think believing in heteronormativity is unhealthy.

I’m 19, and a question that I get a lot (to my dismay) is, “See any nice girls (lately/in your class/last night/etc.)?” I HATE that question.

Human sexuality is expressed in manifold ways, that’s fact. I choose not to provide supporting references, frankly I think it would be patronising and diminishing to do so. Go out and live life, meet people, ask them who they love (not how, for heaven’s sake!); the answers will be varied if the people you meet are various. Enjoy. Oops, forgot to answer the question: it’s natural for human beings to form opinions and to want to conform, in peer groups, families, tribes… It is also natural to see those ‘other’ than the self as threatening, but not by any means necessary. So as a concept, heteronormativity simply exists; it is not, however, true.

No, I don’t think there is anything natural about this. I think it is a social construct which we are taught early on. I don’t think it’s healthy, as it causes people to live with constrictions and, in return, put constrictions on others.
