Heterosexual Bias
1. Avoid connotations of voluntary choice that may not be appropriate. For example, use “sexual
orientation,” rather than sexual preference.”
2. Omit discussion of marital status unless legal marital relationships are the object of the writing. Marital
status per se is not a good indicator of cohabitation. Describing people as married or “single” excludes lesbians,
gay men, bisexual persons, and cohabiting heterosexual people.
3. Use sexual terminology that is relevant to lesbians and gay men as well as bisexual and heterosexual people. For example, use “sexual activity,” rather than “sexual intercourse.”
4. Avoid stigmatizing or pathologizing language regarding gay men and lesbians (e.g., “sexual deviate,”“sexual invert”).
5. Use parallel terms when comparing members of different sexual orientation groups. For example,
compare lesbians with “heterosexual women,” rather than to “the general public” or “normal women.”
6. Avoid the use of the term “homosexual” and use the more specific terms of “gay men” and “lesbians.” |
