Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heterosexism is the belief or assumption that heterosexuality is the only normal and natural expression of sexual identity, and that anything other than heterosexuality is abnormal or deviant. It includes the perception or treatment of non-heterosexual individuals as inferior or flawed. Homosexuality is the sexual orientation that is typically stigmatized by heterosexist attitudes and beliefs, but it is not synonymous with heterosexism, which is a broader system of discrimination and prejudice. Queer theory and sexual politics are related to the critique and analysis of heteronormativity and gender norms, but do not necessarily endorse or oppose heterosexism.
