Heteronormative Content Generation Defaults

!The problem

This AI writing tool generates content with heteronormative defaults — every relationship is different-sex, every character is cisgender, unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.

?Why it harms LGBTQIA+ users

When AI content generation tools default to heterosexual, cisgender characters for every prompt — 'write a love story' always produces a man-and-woman couple, 'generate a family portrait' always shows different-sex parents — they reproduce and reinforce heteronormative assumptions. Users must explicitly request LGBTQIA+ representation, treating it as a deviation from the 'normal' default rather than a natural part of human diversity.

✓The fix

Instruct the AI to include diverse representation by default, not only when explicitly requested.

Representation guidelines:
- When generating multiple characters, relationships, or families,
  naturally include diverse orientations and gender identities
- Do not default to heterosexual/cisgender for every character
- "Write a love story" can feature any orientation
- "Generate a family" can include any family structure
- Diversity should feel natural, not tokenistic
