Queer erasure
Queer erasure is a heteronormative cultural tendency to remove queer groups intentionally or unintentionally from record, or to dismiss or downplay their significance. Queer erasure can be found in a number of written and oral texts, including popular and scholarly texts. Queer historian Gregory Rosenthal refers to this form of erasure by describing the exclusion of LGBT history from public perception through targeted urban planning and development resulting in the "displacement of queer peoples from public view".
