摘要
The author examines the role U.S. lesbian-and gay-themed children's picture books play in the deployment of a homonormative subject, how that deployment occurs, and what the consequences are of such a deployment for children; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) communities; and the larger society. The author, through use of queer theory and intersectionality, finds that the homonormative subject is a technology used to reaffirm a heteronormative agenda. That is, by depoliticizing and demobilizing segments of the LGBTQI community through nominal societal acceptance heterosexist and other interlocking forms of oppression are allowed to remain intact.
