Homonormativity is the state in which same-sex sexuality is the norm. In SF, it may be used to create a society very different than our own. It is only marked in societies with male and female genders, as single-sexed societies are, if not asexual, then homonormative by default.

- Naomi Mitchison, Solution Three
