‘A politics that does not contest dominant heteronormative assumptions and institutions, but upholds and sustains them, while promising the possibility of a demobilized gay constituency and a privatized, depoliticized gay culture anchored in domesticity and consumption’ (L. Duggan 2003). ‘In other words, many gays and lesbians want nothing more than to be considered normal so that they might go on with their day-to-day lives as part of the status quo’ (Oswin (2008) PHG 32, 1).
