I just love that you use words like heteronormativity. There's not enough people like that in my world these days. I send my sympathies for your suffering - we're having another spate of weddings this summer, and I fear the heteronormativity already.
The story B tells to this day is that I used the word heteropatriarchy the first time I met her mom (years before we started dating). In retrospective, it's hysterical (all the more so because it made her mom assume I was a lesbian (that plus my short hair ;), so B went on to explain about my boyfriend, blowing her mom's mind a second time), but at the time I was just that earnest that I didn't pause to consider my audience.
I miss you when I'm not on lj much.
That written "symposium" sounds really interesting actually, given the people involved. Even though you're right, a lot of the same ideas can be found online these days. I'll have to track down the biography (or is it published in another form?).
