Numerous countries globally have governments who act to repress alternative sexual lifestyle groups. Such governments’ motives to rule in this manner are authoritarian, they wish to promote state controlled sexualism. Authoritarian state sexualism is the government's creation of a homogenized population who all think and act the same way, decided by the dominant ideology. This would include conformity with an authoritarian government of the day’s choice of sexual preference, which is virtually exclusively heterosexuality. This paper discusses covert and overt social engineering that takes place within authoritarian, socially repressive societies, which effectively drive sexual minority groups underground. Imposition of authoritarian state sexualism on people who live in sexually repressive societies, begins in their early years.
