This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics

 That's literally true. Heterosexuality *is* the norm. They're arguing here
that something that's true shouldn't be true.

It's the "norm" in the sense of "usual, typical, or standard" -- and, afaics, what's being demonstrated here is how pervasive that 'norm' is. What *isn't* explicitly addressed is how 'norm' often becomes "normal".
