All this is to say is that E. M. Forster's vision of love and romance as "a friend that you have sex with" manages to capture an understanding of love that breaks down amatonormativity, challenges the conflation of romantic and sexual attraction, and grounds the idea of partnership in something that is tangible and real. Its conceptual construction places friendship, genuine human connection, and affection at the heart of such a relationship without necessitating or denying physical or sexual expression of that attraction. In a heteronormative, amatonormative world where so many straight couples are together who consider romantic relationships more important than platonic ones, and often don't seem to have anything in common with their opposite sex partner or see them as a human being (see: jokes about how one partner "doesn't understand how men/women work" or "you can't tell what women are thinking", seeing their partner as part of an inscrutable class, not as an individual), Forster's conception of partnership through Maurice stumbles across a radical, queer vision of relationship that puts friendship first without denying the existence of romance or sex, whereas the idealized amatonormative vision of relationship expressed through Clive based on intangible, divine, mysterial connection ultimately fails because it is not based on anything real and represses everything that is real.

Somewhere out there is a beautiful alternate universe where Lady Vetinari gives her orders to Her Grace, The Duchess of Ankh, Commander Dame Samantha "Sam" Vimes and Vimes leaves the office and immediately punches a wall.
