Depends on the neo-cons you're talking about, no? I think the Podhoretz-Decter strand was super into hetero-normativity but there were a lot of foreign policy people who were basically socially liberal but hawkish (i.e. like lots of older liberal Cold Warriors)

It's an outgrowth of the fact that the same historical conjuncture that broke cold war liberalism also saw the emergence of new social movements challenging gender norms. As neo-cons coalesced it was an alliance of people upset about various things, some overlappping, some not.

Well, the more detailed answer is that the Podhoretz/Decter crew thought you needed a return to 1950s heteronormativity to have a strong USA to fight commies but others in alliance saw foreign policy as distinct from social policy.
