Heteronormativity is defined as “the assumption that everyone is heterosexual and that heterosexuality is superior to all other sexualities” and a woman is defined as “a black feminist or feminist of color” who “appreciates and prefers the culture of women,” according to the archived link. . White fragility describes “the privilege of white people living in a society that protects and insulates them from race-based stress.”

The calendar displayed on the Heritage Months and Identity Recognitions webpage includes events such as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Disability Pride Month, Latino Heritage Month, and “Transgender Day of Remembrance,” according to the archived link.

“Celebrating the stories and contributions of historically marginalized identities, Harvard commemorates Heritage Months and Identity Recognitions throughout the year. These recognitions are an opportunity for everyone in the community to learn more about the traditions, the people, scholarship, history, and current experiences of those who have overcome oppression to create opportunity for all,” the description reads.
