role of power in heterosexism  

Definición

  • Heterosexism refers to what is often articulated as a heterosexual bias inherent in the sociopolitical, cultural, and economic systems of many Western societies. As a socially regulated predisposition toward heterosexuality, and therefore heterosexual people and heterosexual behaviors, heterosexism implies the presence of intimate and pervasive, but also institutionalized and highly politicized, relations of power at the social, personal, organizational, and international levels of human interaction.
