Representations and portrayals of non-heterosexual love and desire in mainstream media are not particularly new these days, nor are they still considered especially shocking. Homosexual desire has become quite palatable to mainstream appetites. This however is only possible as long as we can locate the non-heterosexual desire within the dichotomous framework of sex, gender, and sexuality. I argue that portrayals of a desire that is not easily located in the hetero/homo divide are met with strategies of re-inscribing the non-normative bodies into exactly the kind of logic that these bodies defy. Furthermore, these normalizing strategies, and whether they are employed and in what way, can tell us quite a lot as to who the cultural offering was actually intended for – rarely ever a non-normative audience. Moments are analyzed when trans* bodies – bodies that are running the risk of becoming unintelligible in the mainstream eye if their queer position is maintained – are brought back to legibility by either relocating the bodies through their desire or by pushing the bodies back into a supposedly natural state. These moments do not create heterosexuality exclusively; within the logic of the binary, homosexuality is deemed just as acceptable, highlighting how it helps in stabilizing the heterosexual matrix.
