By "a new and more hegemonic form of heterosexuality," you obviously 
are not talking about the abolition of heterosexism, whereas I am 
arguing that the point is to abolish heterosexism, as well as 
capitalism and all other oppressions, and then our modern categories 
of sexual orientation will be irrelevant.

Why?  Will rape be always "sexy" --  a material of fantasy for some 
as it is now?  Will rape always exist, even after the abolition of 
class society, gender oppression, oppression of "sexual deviants," 
and all other oppressions?  Maybe you suffer from the poverty of 
imagination as well as of philosophy.
