History Main / NonHeteronormativeSociety

* ''Fanfic/HomophobiaIsntReal'': The Boiling Isles is a society with many variations is gender and sexual identity, with the concept of sexual discrimination being non-existent.

* The setting of ''Fanfic/ResonanceDays'' is an afterlife for [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Magical Girls]], meaning there are only females and, as a result of their nature in the afterlife being no longer bound by biological and genetic factors, it is also quite possible for even straight magical girls to 'transition' towards being attracted to girls over time. As a result same sex relationships are the norm, and anyone who arrives with homophobic opinions about it are expected to get over it

{{Omegaverse}} fiction is an entire sub-genre of literature and (especially) fanfiction that portrays societies where humans have a secondary sex aside from male and female, that being alphas, betas, and omegas. This kind of literature often focuses on the romance between two men, usually one alpha and one omega, and very often portray the attraction between same-sex partners as entirely normal in that setting. There aren't exactly clear rules about how a society of this type works, and every author is free to make it their own, so some actually do address a similar version of homophobia which is the attraction between people of the same secondary gender rather than their primary ones.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Hellaverse}}'':

** ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Also zig-zagged here - while some residents of Hell have no issue with LGBT people, given that part of the population of Hell are sinners from Earth some of them, such as newscaster Katie Killjoy, retain the homophobic attitudes they had on Earth.

* ''Series/IntoTheBadlands'': Despite the horrific systemic sexism in this post-apocalyptic FeudalFuture and the extent to which the Barons enforce it; there are characters who are out as lesbian, bi, and gay and this generally treated as incidental. For example: When Waldo learns about Tilda's girlfriend, his only concern is that her judgement may be affected by the relationship - just like his warning Sunny about his relationship with Veil.

* The planet Transsexual from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', judging by its shown natives, has incredibly loose sexual norms. Frank seduces anyone and there's heavy IncestSubtext between Riff Raff and his sister, Magenta. The script for the unmade sequel ''Script/RevengeOfTheOldQueen'' confirms this with casual sex being common, including ParentalIncest.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Hellaverse}}:

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Zig-zagged trope - in Hell, there does not seem to be any problem amongst the Hellborn with LGBT people and they are fully accepted. The fact that Stolas has relations with an imp is not a reason for ridicule because they are both male, but because they belong to different social classes. However, some characters do exhibit forms of both homophobia and sexism - mob boss Crimson (Moxxie's father) was not pleased his son is not straight, and later assumes his wife Millie is acting as a beard to him when Moxxie is in fact bisexual.
* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Also zig-zagged here - while some residents of Hell have no issue with LGBT people, given that part of the population of Hell are sinners from Earth some of them, such as newscaster Katie Killjoy, retain the homophobic attitudes they had on Earth.

* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime2021'': Nobody in the show aware of it seems either surprised or disapproving of the fact that Alanna's male Warders are each other's lovers ([[{{Polyamory}} along with hers]]). [[spoiler:Moiraine and Siuan]] do keep their relationship a secret, but this is indicated to be because it would result in accusations of {{nepotism}} as they had been in the same Ajah, while the latter is now the head of the whole Aes Sedai, rather than that they're both women.

* ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': LGBT+ people in this world (or at least the US) are completely integrated and accepted. Raelle's relationship with Scylla is treated no differently than any opposite-gender couple, with them entirely open about it. The only exception is the Imperatrix, who's charged with arranging witches' marriages for continuing their bloodlines, given that Raelle flatly refuses to marry a man and have children like the Imperiatrix wants (while insulting her father-a {{muggle|s}}-to boot).

* ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'': Gender norms have become very flexible by 2077, to the point where the character creator doesn't ask the player about the gender of their [[PlayerCharacter V]], but instead asks for body type, voice and genitals separately, with the voice only being defined as "masculine" or "feminine" (the voice chosen is also what the game uses to decide V's pronouns). V can also have absolutely any gender presentation (through clothes and accessories) the player wants. Implants for breasts and genitals are actually one of the tamer body mods in the setting and are readily available in most stores (though V can't buy them). The player is freely allowed to engage in same- or different-gender romances without any issue. Transgender models and same-gender couples are often used in advertising campaigns ([[TransgenderFetishization though they're just as crude and sexualised as their cis- and heteronormative equivalents]]).

* ''Literature/TheQueenOfIeflaria'': In Rhodia and Ieflaria [[EveryoneIsBi nearly everyone is bisexual]], therefore same-sex marriages are quite acceptable. Gauslen, Adale's friend, turns out to be "neutroi" as well (apparently a nonbinary gender) and uses the title "Noble" instead of Lord or Lady. A same-sex couple can [[GenderBender switch sexes]] to have a child, which trans people use as well who desire it. Several other minor neutroi characters are also shown, and unremarkable. One of the gods is neutroi as well, along with their clergy overall.

* ''Series/{{Intergalactic}}'': From what can be seen, human society in the 2140s completely accepts LGBT+ people. No one bats an eye at same-gender relationships in the show, nor even mentions the fact about a couple.

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E10TheEatersOfLight The Eaters of Light]]", Bill thinks she's going to need to explain being gay to a Roman legionary. Instead, he's just surprised that she's one of those people who's only attracted to one gender. Partial TruthInTelevision, as Ancient Romans did consider bisexuality to be normal for men, although not also for women as the episode implies.
* ''Series/VagrantQueen'': Absolutely none of the people in the series bat an eye at Amae flirting with or kissing other women, and given she frequently picks them up it appears to be a pretty universal feature in their cultures. Lucky for her, since she's [[ReallyGetsAround got a girl in every port it seems]].
* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'': The show confirms that for the Federation, LGBT+ people are entirely accepted and in fact quite unremarkable, along with the relationships they have. People on the ship are shown to be gay, pansexual, lesbian and nonbinary without anyone batting an eye.
* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} compared to its contemporaries in the ''Star Wars'' EU. While Cinta and Vel's homosexual relationship raises no eyebrows from the people aware of it, in keeping with the idea that LGBTQ+ people are accepted in wider galactic society, Perrin's blasé questioning about whether Vel has "finally found a husband" and her reluctance to correct him imply that their native Chandrilan culture is less accepting of her orientation.

* Parodied in ''Acropolis Now'', set in an exaggerated version of Ancient Greece where the main character is seen as a bit weird for favouring heterosexuality, rather than just seeing it as necessary for reproduction.

* ''Literature/BooksOfTheRaksura'': The titular shapeshifters live in colonies where social roles are influenced by [[FantasticCasteSystem inborn caste]] rather than by sex, apart from the rare Queen and Consort castes, which are female- and male-exclusive. Same-sex, polyamorous, and casual relationships are just as normal in their society as the alternatives.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'', across both sides of Xadia, same-sex relationships, are treated no differently then hetero couples with even royalty being able to be openly gay without incident. Non-binary individual's are also common, with the only prejudice on display in the narrative so far being between [[FantasticRacism Elves and Humans]], and the TransTribulations implied in Terry's backstory in book 4, which seems to be rare.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'', there are plenty of homosexual relationships shown, including two queens who shared the rule of their kingdom. It's never remarked on.

* The planet Transsexual from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', judging by its shown natives, has incredibly loose sexual norms. Frank seduces AnythingThatMoves and there's heavy IncestSubtext between Riff Raff and his sister, Magenta. The script for the unmade sequel ''Script/RevengeOfTheOldQueen'' confirms this with casual sex being common, including ParentalIncest.

* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': Nobody aware of it finds lesbian couple Cinta and Vel objectionable nor notable, following the same blasé attitude from the books on LGBT+ people to be the norm for galactic society.

* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': Nobody aware of it finds lesbian couple Cinta and Vel objectionable nor notable, following the same blasé attitude from the books on LGBT+ people.

* ''Literature/TheQueenOfIeflaria'': In Rhodia and Ieflaria [[EveryoneIsBi nearly everyone is bisexual]], therefore same-sex marriages are quite acceptable. Gauslen, Adale's friend, turns out to be "neutroi" as well (apparently a nonbinary gender) and uses the title "Noble" instead of Lord or Lady. A same-sex couple can [[GenderBender switch sexes]] to have a child, which trans people use as well who desire it.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', WordOfGod is that LGBTQ+ discrimination is basically nonexistent on the Boiling Isles, despite the government generally being very conformist. In season 2, the non-binary Raine Whispers even becomes the Head Witch of the Bard Coven (an extremely prestigious position) without anyone treating it as out of the ordinary. The irony of all this? [[spoiler:Their head of state, Emperor Belos is a human witch hunter known as Philip Wittebane from the ''1600s'', a time completely hostile towards those who practice witchcraft as well as non-heterosexual people, and PoliticallyCorrectHistory is ''not'' in effect with him. His views on the matter are never specified. Even if he did harbor the anti-queer prejudices of his time, non-heteronormativity only makes up a small part of the Boiling Isles’ culture he finds abhorrent. His ultimate goal is genocide of all witches for their unholy culture of magic, so the death of their LGBTQ-accepting society is a given]].
** It is shown, however, that there is some stigma around mixed-class relationships; towards the end of the second season, Amity's mother shows contempt for her relationship with [[spoiler: Luz]], not due to its queer nature, but because the two occupy vastly different social strata. Even then, she’ll use the convenient excuse of her being a criminal to mask it.

** The citizens are bio-modified from “human basic” to such a degree that, among other things, they can change their biological sex more or less with a thought (though the process, when started, does take several months to complete). Interestingly though, this doesn’t necessarily affect the individual’s gender identity or even their sexual preferences. For instance, the main character in the short story “A Gift From the Culture” was born a heteronormative female, though has converted to a male body. Contrary to her/his expectations, she/he still prefers male sexual partners after the change.

* ''Literature/HeraldsOfRhimn'': Gadhi may be under the heel of a religious authoritarian regime, but the country does have muted gender roles and an absence of heteronormativity going for it. Inky’s preference for men, Gildhe’s they/them pronouns, and Crislie and Navaeli’s attraction to each other are all treated as mundanely as binary pronouns and straight relationships would be on Earth. Ma Crimsworth even refers to Crislie’s potential future partner as a "spouse".
