(no subject)

I'm having a real hard time lately with language, particularly language on subject matter purporting to address me, but framed in language and definitions that specifically exclude me. I know some of this is probably internal to my self, but I have a strong sense that some, if not actually a lot, of this is external to my self. Still, it gets in the way of understanding; my stung sense of self, of validity, won't permit me to dig through the exclusion (intentional or ignorant) for what might be of value there.

take the pre- *

Driving in to work, I heard a lurid, pandering add for "The L Word", and I was hit with something. I hate heteronormativity, passionately, but I hate homonormativity, and when I encounter it, binormativity as well; I dont' care if it's Hal Sparks on "Queer as Folk", or Katherine Moenning on "The L Word". It just doesn't make sense to me that if heteronormativity is problematic that it be countered with any other normativity. Why can't people just make shows about interesting, attractive people involved with one another? Normativity itself is bad, no matter what preceeds it.
