This study examined heterosexism that is not specifically targeted at LGB individuals, but may be experienced as antigay harassment, and may contribute to the stigma and stress they experience. LGB participants (N = 175, primarily Euro-American college students), read scenarios of heterosexuals saying or assuming things potentially offensive to gay men or lesbian women. For each scenario, they indicated extent to which they would be offended and less open about their sexuality, and their perceptions of the behaviors as evidence of antigay prejudice. Not only did respondents find the scenarios to be offensive and indicative of prejudice, but perceived offensiveness was associated with a decreased likelihood of coming out. In comparison to gay men, lesbian women and bisexuals found the scenarios more offensive and more indicative of prejudice. Limitations of the current study and directions for future research are outlined.
本研究考察了并非专门针对LGB个体，但可能被视为反同性恋骚扰，并可能导致他们所经历的耻辱感和压力的异性恋主义。LGB参与者（N = 175，主要是欧美大学生）阅读了异性恋者说出或假定可能冒犯男同性恋者或女同性恋者的话语的情景。对于每个情景，他们指出自己会被冒犯的程度、对自己的性取向变得不那么开放的程度，以及他们将这些行为视为反同性恋偏见证据的看法。受访者不仅认为这些情景具有冒犯性且表明存在偏见，而且感知到的冒犯性与出柜可能性降低有关。与男同性恋者相比，女同性恋者和双性恋者认为这些情景更具冒犯性且更能表明存在偏见。文中概述了当前研究的局限性以及未来研究的方向。
