Heterosexism can be defined as a system of power that privileges heterosexual (“straight’’) people on the basis of their sexual or affectional orientation, while homophobia can be defined as prejudice, discrimination, or violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or intersex (LGBTQQI) people on the basis of their sexual or affectional difference from heterosexual people. Heterosexism and homophobia are two related forms of oppression that can exist alongside or interact with race and racism. ![]() HETEROSEXISM AND HOMOPHOBIA IN HISTORICAL AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVEĪNTI-HETEROSEXIST AND ANTI-HOMOPHOBIC ACTIVISM ![]() ![]() ![]() Javier fought hard to be included on this mission.

When she learns about Blue 55, a real whale who is unable to speak to other whales, Iris understands how he must feel. I’ve worked as a sign language interpreter ever.

Holy Terror will be the first publication for Legendary Comics. (You can take in the first five pages of Holy Terror on Legendary's website.) The writer, famous for his hard-boiled prose in the Sin City series and for his fantastic miniseries Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, said he sees Holy Terror as a "bare-knuckled" comic book response to 9/11. The graphic novel "is a reminder that we're in the midst of a long war" and "the enemy that we're up against is pernicious, deceptive and merciless and wants nothing less than total destruction."

The two women are strangers, but they won’t be for long.
