Definición

  • Heterosexual privilege, or straight privilege, refers to the rights and unearned advantages bestowed on heterosexuals in society. Heterosexual privilege, like many other forms of privilege, is often invisible to its recipients; heterosexuals benefit from these advantages and are usually unaware of their privileged position relative to their sexual orientation.
