Heterosexism is discrimination and prejudice based on sexual orientation, specifically favoring heterosexuality over other sexual orientations. It manifests in various forms such as homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. Heterosexism highlights the tendency of societies or individuals to devalue and exclude individuals based on their sexual orientation, perpetuating negative stereotypes and assumptions. This can have profound effects on LGBTQ+ individuals, leading to feelings of shame, self-doubt, and a lack of acceptance. Heterosexism denies the valuable contributions and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, creating barriers to equality and social inclusion.
