The Origins of Compulsory Heterosexuality, and Gender, and How it Relates to Today’s Attack on LGBTQ+ Rights. *This is my condensed take on hundreds of years of history, and does not, nor claims to, reflect all of the vast amount of research in this area!* This research was made possible by the receipt of the Brennens Summer Research Fellowship from the Office of Fellowships, Opportunities, & Undergraduate Research at the University of Vermont. #compulsoryhetero #comphet #queerliberation #compulsoryhetereosexuality #lgbtqhistory
