Feminist scholars in recent years have argued that both sexism and homophobia are forces that maintain traditional gender roles and inequality in society. Further, these scholars suggest that sexism cannot be eradicated without addressing homophobia simultaneously. Building on such arguments, I examine how the National Organization for Women (NOW), as a case study of feminism in the US, understood the relationship between sexism and homophobia by conducting a qualitative content analysis of the organization's national newsletters from 1968 to 2000. I find that NOW did not address this relationship sufficiently; rather, NOW justified its work against homophobia in ways that are distinct from a relationship to gender
