Heterosexism:

Redefining Homophobia for the 1990's

Pages 21-35 | Published online: 23 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

The author reviews previous use of the concept of homophobia and argues that its meaning has broadened to the point of loss of unity. Homophobia is redefined, delineated into two constructs: heterosexism and shame due to heterosexism. The delineation of heteroseism and shame due to heterosexism is presented as a valuable therapeutic technique bearing sociopolitical implications.
