	Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In it, Rich argues that heterosexuality is a violent political institution making way for the "male right of physical, economical, and emotional access" to women.
		In the essay, women are urged to direct their energies toward other women rather than men, and lesbianism is portrayed as an extension of feminism.
		She does not, however, deny the existence of "role-playing, self-hatred, breakdown, suicide, and 'intrawoman violence'", all of which have been caused by the realities of rejecting compulsory heterosexuality.

	Heterosexuality = Immorality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Many heterosexuals argue that they were born that way, that it is "natural," and that "God made them the way He wanted them." However, no "straight gene" has been isolated, and evidence points to widespread indoctrination in popular media as being the most likely source of the current pandemic of heterosexuality.
		Each to their own, you are a hypocrit by denouncing the influence of heterosexual parents on children as overbearing and halting the freedom of choice yet you preach the joys of homosexuality and actively encourage members of society to embrace and enter into homosexual relations.
		Heterosexualism is not bad by any stretch of the imagination, I do presume you too were born from a heterosexual relationship however you claim that heterosexual parents have an overbearing influence.

	God's Judgment on Heterosexuality
		It was soon found that stricter regulation of heterosexual tendencies was required, and the catholic church, in its wisdom, determined within a few centuries of its institutional life that bishops (and in the West, all clergy) should permanently abstain from all heterosexual activity.
		Similarly, heterosexual lobbyists have been hard at work mounting efforts to decriminalize heterosexual acts still forbidden by statute in many states, to lower the age of consent for sexual activity between persons of the opposite sex, and to legalize prostitution and the distribution of pornography.
		Heterosexuals are also fervent in their efforts to retain the special rights that they have managed to secure, rights not afforded to other citizens.

		Heterosexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by romantic love or sexual desire exclusively for members of the opposite gender, contrasted with homosexuality and distinguished from bisexuality and asexuality.
		Heterosexualism is a term that is used synonymously with both "heterosexism" and "heterosexuality".
		Heterosexual was first listed in Merriam-Websters's New International Dictionary as a medical term for "morbid sexual passion for one of the opposite sex," but in 1934 in their Second Edition Unabridged it is a "manifestation of sexual passion for one of the opposite sex; normal sexuality."

	frontline: assault on gay america: who's gay? what's straight?: the invention of heterosexuality
		Heterosexuality began this century defensively, as the publicly unsanctioned private practice of the respectable middle class, and as the publicly put-clown pleasure-affirming practice of urban working-class youths, southern fls, and Greenwich Village bohemians.
		But by the end of the 1920s, heterosexuality had triumphed as dominant, sanctified culture.' In the first quarter of the twentieth century the heterosexual came out, a public, self-affirming debut the homosexual would duplicate near the century's end.
		There, heterosexuality is finally a "manifestation of sexual passion for one of the opposite sex; normal sexuality." Heterosexuality had finally attained the status of norm.

		Compulsory heterosexuality simplifies the task of the procurer and pimp in worldwide prostitution rings and "eros centers," while, in the privacy of the home, it leads the daughter to "accept" incest/rape by her father, the mother to deny that it is happening, the battered wife to stay on with an abusive husband.

	Katie Leonard - Lieutenant Nun and Subverting Heterosexuality
		Rich constitutes herself as a separatist from heterosexuality; her life is lived as much as possible on a "lesbian continuum" that seeks to restore primary female relationships.
		She strongly rejects the role of heterosexual woman, with its inherent containment and subordination, but she replaces it with the role of heterosexual male, complete with exploitative and proprietary attidutes toward women.
		Heterosexuality is not questioned in the case of Carlini: lesbianism attempts to conceal itself in the guise of heterosexuality, but is in the end punished harshly, and the other nun involved denied that she had ever been a willing partner.

		A critical study of heterosexuality has to move beyond the current analysis of the processes that produce heterosexuality as a mere representation of the norm by including an exploration of the heterogeneity of heterosexualities as well as the instability of straight identities.
		Papers will address the instabilities of heterosexual subject positions, different performances of straightness and power differentials, such as race and gender, in the production and regulation of heterosexual subjects by analyzing representations of transsexuality, antinormative femininity, the married couple and the figure of the caring daddy.
		The de- and reconstruction of heterosexualities intends to contribute to a critique of heteronormative power relations by further exploring the conditions under which a denaturalization of heterosexuality undermines or reaffirms hegemonic subject positions.

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Compulsory Heterosexuality
		Compulsory heterosexuality is the assumption that women and men are innately attracted to each other emotionally and sexually and that heterosexuality is normal and universal.
		Poet Adrienne Rich introduced the concept of compulsory heterosexuality in her writings, most notably in her 1980 essay "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence." Rich was one of the first public intellectuals to challenge the idea that heterosexuality is the natural expression of human sexuality and that other forms of sexuality are deviant.
		Gayle Rubin argues that although the ideology of compulsory heterosexuality is a powerful force in the social construction of lesbianism as "deviant," the feminist insistence on regulated sexuality even between women is equally powerful and also oppressive.

	Heroic, Heretical, Heterosexuality, an article by Jeffrey J. Kripal in the Fall 2004 issue of CrossCurrents
		It is as if society "captures" heterosexuality for biological reproduction and the maintenance of public social structures and will allow only the homosexual or the bisexual, really anything but heterosexuality, to "escape" into the liminal realms of mystical experience, ecstatic excess, and liturgical leisure.
		The heterosexual Tantric mystic, after all, is consistently described as a "hero" (vira), his sexual encounters with the goddess are understood to be fraught with great risk, and Tantra itself is copiously described as something dangerous and terrifying—strange terms indeed for a heterosexuality that many men experience as a source of pleasure, beauty, and well-being.
		Such a hunch is confirmed when we remember that Tantric goddesses, Kali foremost among them, often appear in mystical traditions dominated by the emotional-devotional states of the infant or child, the oft-stated goal of mystically merging with the mother, and a bewildering symbolic complex of motherliness, sexuality, grace, and violence.

	The Invention of Heterosexuality by Jonathan Ned Katz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The terms "heterosexual" and "homosexual" did not exist in the infamous ancient Greek societal structure and indeed did not arise until late in the 19th century.
		A potentially amusing fact discussed at length is that prior to the 1920's and '30's, "heterosexuality" was a term used solely by psychologists, such as Krafft-Ebing and Freud, to describe conditions of sexual perversion, linked at first to nonprocreative sexual acts between those of the opposite sex and then to preoccupation with different-sex eroticism.
		While not explaining every question about the heterosexual/homosexual distinction, The Invention of Heterosexuality wonderfully illustrates that while individuals do have a say in their sexual choices, others' judgements upon those choices are based upon the myths and sayings of respected persons of the time.
