LGBTQ activists have a crucial role in fighting sexuality-based discrimination. However, homonormativity can lead activists to adhere to hegemonic heteronormativity, thus threatening their efforts to widen the concept of family. Drawing on the Gramscian notion of hegemony, this article analyzes the notion of heteronormativity and its homonormative facet as a form of hegemony that impacts activists, sustaining the premises of heteronormativity and seeking inclusion within such norms. This research investigates the hegemonic heteronormative assumptions that endure in the discourses of Italian LGBTQ activists when they talk about lesbian and gay parenting. Findings highlight the presence of heteronormative traces in their discourses, namely in terms of access to reproduction, the parents' place within the regime of gender, and the right standards for child rearing. Hegemonic heteronormativity appears in multiform ways, and as largely consensual even to those it more directly oppresses, making it difficult to detect and therefore to deconstruct.
LGBTQ权益活动人士在反对基于性取向的歧视方面发挥着关键作用。然而，同性恋规范可能导致活动人士坚持霸权性的异性恋规范，从而威胁到他们拓宽家庭概念的努力。本文借鉴葛兰西的霸权概念，分析异性恋规范概念及其同性恋规范层面，将其作为一种霸权形式，这种霸权影响着活动人士，维持着异性恋规范的前提，并寻求在这些规范内获得包容。本研究调查了意大利LGBTQ权益活动人士在谈论女同性恋和男同性恋育儿时，其话语中持续存在的霸权性异性恋规范假设。研究结果凸显出他们的话语中存在异性恋规范的痕迹，即在生殖权利、父母在性别制度中的地位以及正确的育儿标准等方面。霸权性异性恋规范以多种形式出现，甚至在很大程度上为那些它更直接压迫的人所认同，这使得它难以被察觉，因此也难以解构。
