Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. Heterosexism is the assumption that all people are heterosexual and belief that heterosexuality is "normal" and superior to other sexual orientations. Heterosexism results in oppression, stigmatization, discrimination, and violence against members of GLBT populations. Family rejection is a response to disclosure of a family member's homosexuality. This is not an outcome of heterosexism.
