Monosexism

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monosexism is the belief that monosexuality is superior over other sexual orientations, such as bisexuals, omnisexuals, polysexuals and pansexuals. Some people think that bisexuals are promiscuous.[1]

It describes a specific discrimination that includes biphobia and panphobia as an extension of heterosexism,[2] enforcing androphilia and gynephilia as an strict dichotomy.[3][4]
