Non-heterosexual

Non-heterosexual is a sexual orientation or sexual identity that is not heterosexual. The term helps define the "concept of what is the norm and how a particular group is different from that norm". ''Non-heterosexual'' is used in feminist and gender studies fields as well as general academic literature to help differentiate between sexual identities chosen, prescribed and simply assumed, with varying understanding of implications of those sexual identities. The term is similar to ''queer'', though less politically charged and more clinical; ''queer'' generally refers to being non-normative and non-heterosexual. Some view the term as being contentious and pejorative as it "labels people against the perceived norm of heterosexuality,
thus reinforcing heteronormativity".〔; (PDF version )〕〔; (PDF version )〕 Still others note ''non-heterosexual'' is the only term useful to maintaining coherence in research and suggest it "highlights a shortcoming in our language around sexual identity"; for instance, its use can enable bisexual erasure.〔 "He includes interviews of some men who have a behaviorally bisexual pattern, but none of men who self-identify as bisexual. Therefore, the term non-heterosexual was inherently problematic to me, given that I am sensitive to issues of bisexual exclusion."〕
==Background==
Many gay, lesbian and bisexual people were born into cultures and religions that stigmatized, repressed or negatively judged any sexuality that differed from a heterosexual identity and orientation.〔 Additionally the majority of heterosexuals still view non-heterosexual acts as taboo and non-conventional sexual desires are generally hidden entirely or masked in various ways.〔 ''Non-heterosexual'' is more fully inclusive of people who not only identify as other than heterosexual but also as other than gay, lesbian and bisexual. Some common examples include ''same gender loving'', ''men who have sex with men (MSM)'', ''women who have sex with women'' (WSW), ''bi-curious'' and ''questioning''.〔 ''Non-heterosexual'' is considered a better general term than ''homosexual'', ''lesbian and gay'', ''LGBT'' or ''queer'' for being more neutral and without the baggage or gender discrimination that comes with many of the alternatives.〔 For instance, until 1973, the American Psychological Association listed ''homosexual'' as a mental illness, and it still has negative connotations.
