Angers Gay Activist, Sparks New Term
03.08.05

By Ross von Metzke

(Boston, MA) — According to a gay rights activist at Harvard University, Jada Pinkett-Smith is a heteronormative actress.
If you’ve never heard the word used in a sentence before, don’t feel surprised — beyond select academics and gay activists, it’s a word few use — that is until the wife of actor Will Smith angered one gay rights activist at a recent speaking engagement to theatre students at Harvard.

"Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career," the actress said to a crowd of approximately 150 students at Sanders Theatre.

According to Jordan Woods, co-chair of Harvard’s Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters Alliance, the comments were “extremely heteronormative” and made members of BGLTSA uncomfortable.
