This essay addresses Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir, Fun Home and its critique of metronormativity, a dominant narrative within which rural queers move to a urban place of tolerance after enduring a long period of homophobic repression. The discourse of hegemonic lesbian and gay urbanism normalizes a big city as the final destination to which rural-identified queers must assimilate. By employing the frame of queer ecology, this paper submits that Fun Home critiques a homonormative impulse embedded in the metronormative discourse. The first half of this essay charts the way in which U.S. capitalism has provided material condition for the making of gay and lesbian identities. I also consider how queer politics of protest and equality has shifted to a de-politicized and commodified urban gay subculture in the post-Stonewall period. In the second half of this paper, I analyze Fun Home in a way that focuses on how the graphic memoir interrogates historical context and ideologies of metronormativity. Paying special attention to the book’s portrayal of Beech Creek, the small hometown of Bechel’s father in central Pennsylvania, this paper argues that Fun Home performs an intersectional queer ecological politics, one that links homophobia, metrocentric bias, homonormativity, and environmental commodification. In doing so, this paper concludes that Bechdel’s text provides a complicated and nuanced understanding of metronormativity and queer ecology.
