Compulsory heterosexuality

Compulsory heterosexuality is the institutionalized expectation that everyone is or should be attracted to the opposite sex, inscribed in law, language, family structure, and daily social ritual. It functions not as preference but as mandate, making same-sex desire invisible, dangerous, or unimaginable.
