See text and discussion at heterosexism. Note the term 'heterosexism' is not linguistically parallel to 'racism' and 'sexism'; 'heterosexism' literally means A descriminatory bias based on a belief that one form of heterosexuality is better/preferrable to other forms of heterosexuality. 'Sexualism' means A descriminatory bias based on a belief that one form of sexuality is better/preferrable to other forms of sexuality. - Serge Dupouy 10:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The way this article is written is as the only for of sexualism is against gay people, this seems to be akin to an article on racism focusing only on prejudice against black people, if I'm wrong, please show me the error in my ways. Loggerisms 03:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yes you are right this article is very biased.DMSBel (talk) 02:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article discusses discrimination againist straight people but is for obvious reasons centered around discrimination againist homosexual, bisexual, and asexual people.-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 00:37, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Refs. 4 to 9 relate to the second sense of the word "sexualism" ("sexuality itself").

A careful reading of the page shows that the first sense of "sexualism" ("discrimination based on sexuality"), is a neologism that is not attributed to any of the page's references. Ref. 1 refers to "sexual prejudice", Refs. 2 and 3 to "heterosexism". The content of Refs 1 and 2 can be searched on Amazon; Ref 3 is available in PDF form and can be searched; none of these includes the word "sexualism".

The first sense is a neologism that is not in widespread use, and is unsourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.102.166 (talk) 16:29, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the term sexualism as defined in this article can be both expanded and rewritten in a way that is more succinct and flowing. The language of the first paragraph in sexual bias seems to hop around when there are similar ideas within each sentence. I think the section can benefit from a new structure where it discusses the definition of sexualism, it's relation to heteronormativity and how it is a form of structural violence, discrimination and prejudice while expanding on what each term means since many people may not be as comfortable with the sociological usage of the terms. There could also be a section for historic and modern examples of sexualism, and perhaps another section on how sexualism intersects with either forms of discrimination and how that affects society (i.e. the hiring process, education, politics, etc.) Kellyhphan (talk) 14:07, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the course case mentioned in this article should be in the “Key court cases” section because it is often mentioned and has significance because it clarifies that businesses are not allowed to discriminate against Same-sex couples. It also dives into Mr. Phillips'(defendant) religious convictions, and how it cannot be a good defense for discrimination. Quote from the BBC: "Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, whether it be slavery, whether it be the holocaust. And to me it is one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use to use their religion to hurt others." I would edit it myself, but I don’t know if it is appropriate for the article, or how I should format it. Could someone help me out with this? I would like to discuss this further if you would like. I prefer that you discuss it in my talk page if you have anything you want me to know. Thank you for your consideration. HelloHamburger (talk) 03:39, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary has an article on this:

A link box to Wiktionary should be added, preferably above all other boxes on the right side.
