Limiting people's lives by enforcing a cateity, pushing a stereotype or perceived identity upon people. Either enforcing your own cateity, such as forbidding a non-Christian same sex couple from getting married because it goes against your own beliefs as a Christian. Or enforcing your own vision of someone else's cateity, such as forbidding a Christian same sex couple from getting married because although you are a non-Christian yourself it still goes against your own beliefs about what it means to be a Christian and thus of what the Christian same sex couple ought to want. (In Swedish: påtvinga kateitet)
