![]() ![]() ![]() Like racism, sexism, classism, caste prejudice, xenophobia, ageism, and other oppressions, heterosexism and homo-phobia share a common root: namely, the exercise of social domination based on a negative evaluation of social difference. 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 ![]()
