Homonormative
The expectation that belonging in homosexual culture should be based on behavior, beliefs, and attitudes which are consistent with the majority of the community.
Calling someone a fake gay because he’s too “straight-acting” is such a homonormative attitude.

Used to describe the assumption that everyone in the world is homosexual, unless proven otherwise.
"So when are Jane Rizzoli and Maura isles going to get together?"
"Dude, they're straight."
"No they aren't; neither of them have seriously dated any guys! And they always go back to each other after breakups!"
That's just because they're friends... your homonormativity is getting out of control..."
