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"". 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.
