Heterosexism is an irrational fear of or aversion to homosexuals that leads to prejudice, discrimination, and sometimes violence against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered persons. Although heterosexism is the more accurate term, homophobia is more commonly used. As a result, LGBTQ youth may experience invisibility and isolation in their homes, community, and schools.
