ABSTRACT
Three women faculty from different disciplines assert the necessity of initiating a process to confront silence and create voice in order to address heterosexism and homophobia in the classroom. One advocates for the feminist construct of a consciously positional and 192political voice to improve students’ sensitivity to multiculturalism in regard to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people (LGBT). Another proposes a process of locating sexual orientation in the wider issues of sexuality and gender constructions, in order to form different assumptions and starting points. A third one challenges faculty members and students to accept that recognizing their own heterosexism and homophobia is the first step in the process of confronting and transforming what they fear.
