Is Hetero Diverse? A Dangerous Government Campaign

I never heard anyone shout “hetero” as an insult. Now, “faggot” is commonplace. All of us who distanced ourselves from the privileges of heterosexuality learned to transform insults into pride. Those of us who pulse with a rhythm that clashes with the choreography of heteronormativity were disqualified from that board of the “Game of Normal Life” and had to learn to survive by other rules. So today, when the National Secretariat of Human Rights tweets that “heterosexuality is part of sexual diversity,” the scars left on me by not being that heterosexual, and, according to the government, diverse sexuality, still burn.
