Glossary term: Heterosexism


Heterosexism is the assumption that heterosexuality is superior, preferable and the only right, normal or moral expression of sexuality. It can be the reason for less overt forms of discrimination against LBGTQ2S+ people, in which the person or organization responsible may not intend or recognize their bias. (source)
