Subject: Sexualism? A New Word

Hi, I was just wondering whether there is a word that refers to discrimination based on one's sexual orientation. If there isn't, don't you think that it's time that we came up with one?!

On the analogy of 'racism', 'sexism', 'speciesism', and the like, I propose the word 'sexualism'. Is this linguistically sound? Analogously correct?

Here are my proposed definitions:

SEXUALISM n. The prejudice that persons of a particular sexual orientation are intrinsically superior to persons of a different sexual orientation.

SEXUALIST n. & adj.

What do people think? Are there any objections? Is there a better word(s)? Is there a need for such a word? Have others proposed the use of this word?

IF THERE ARE NO SUCH OBJECTIONS, I PROPOSE THAT WE PROMULGATE THIS WORD! LET IT BE KNOWN THAT SEXUALISM SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED!
