What the heck is "heteronormative."

Here you go. Everything you [don't] need to know about heteronormativity. :)

HETERONORMATIVITY
(heteronormative): Those punitive rules (social, familial, and legal) that force us to conform to hegemonic, heterosexual standards for identity. The term is a short version of "normative heterosexuality."

Here are more results from Google.

Yeah, but you have to admit the Times Square photo was a very passionate embrace. That's what I love about it. The shear joy that the war was over and this sailor couldn't help himself!

Passionate? From him, maybe. She appears unconscious.

But the sailor's identity remains a mystery.
He was probably married and didn't exactly want to raise his hand! ;-)

He was obviously a great kisser! I think I would swoon too if DH grabbed me in a kiss like that =)

The sailor wason Fox & Friends yesterday morning. It has been proven that he is the one. What's more, his wife-to-be wasstanding in the background. He said he kissed the nurse because nurses had evacuated and cared for some of his buddies after one of the battles.

Nurses have a special place in this sailor's heart.

A special place in time in particular for me was the month of November, 1969 at the 93rd Evac in Long Binh, RVN.

Not a day has gone by since that I'm not thinking of them.

Was this the guy on Fox & Friends?

George Mendonsa, an 82-year-old retired fisherman who lives in Middletown, R.I., has insisted for decades that he's the man in the photo.


Is he the famed kissing sailor? He says he has more proof

I have to admit I've always just loved looking at that picture....so much is in that one shot.

It's nice to know a bit of the story.

Two different views. Must have been a 'long' kiss.

> ... the kissing guy is Frank Sinatra.

Naw, that's my Dad kissing Mom.

At least, that's what they told me ;-)

Maybe his kiss was so passionate she fainted. A girl couldn't ask for more than that!

We sure do, sis! :-)

I'm a happily married woman, but in this kind of situation, I'd let a sailer kiss me too!

Or maybe his breath was that bad.
