Thinking about stigma will have you encountering new language that you may find useful and possibly more accurate than other words we commonly use. Personal stigma might take the place of homophobia. Self-stigma for internalized homophobia. Structural stigma might replace heterosexism. Perceived stigma as reactions to homophobic remarks. These terms are connected and reinforce stigma’s power.
