What does Kinsman mean by the "pervasiveness of heterosexual hegemony and privilege"?
On Jun 04, 2024
In his work on the social organization of sexuality,Kinsman explicates how the state is powerfully implicated in people's daily lives,including sexuality.He discusses how the state morally regulates sexualities (constructing homosexuality as deviant,risky,and immoral)and normalizes heterosexuality.These historical anti-queer constructions continue to shape social practices of discrimination against people whose sexualities challenge heterosexual hegemony (or dominance),including lesbians,gay men,bisexuals,and transgendered persons.
