What is Compulsive Heterosexuality?

This is a printable 8-page minizine about compulsive heterosexuality as discussed by Adrienne Rich. The zine begins by acknowledging the term’s popular usage on the internet before diving into Rich’s main arguments in the seminal 1980 essay “Compulsive Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence.”

The “little big theory series” aims to summarize the main ideas of academic texts that have been impactful on me!

The first page in this PDF is the 8.5x11" printable version. The subsequent pages are the pages of the zine in order so you can read it on your computer.
