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)

At least as Balint's book on Commentary argues, post-67 and especially post-75, neocon attention gets focused on threats to Israel/wars on terror/etc., away from questions of urban/social policy.

But I might argue that '60s & '70s neoconservatism was not really "conservative" - it was more of a reaction to changing Jewish politics (old to new left) than anything to do with neocons today. Ps: also need to take into account american Jewish "turn inward" post-67
