Is not real. Doesn't exist. Unnatural. Just a phase. Don't let the internet brainwash you into thinking you are one of them. It's commonly referred to a sort of unusual mutated species known as 'the heterosexuals'. They are known to breed and make tiny spawns of the devil, aka kids which is disgusting as hell. Anyone who is heterosexual must go to hell (God's words not mine). Heterosexuality is a threat to our society and therefore should cease to exist. #banheterosexuality2k20

A person who is attracted to the opposite gender. Heterosexuality is the most common sexual orientation in the world (but by no means "normal". It is simply more common than some variations of human sexuality).

Only tiny minorities are exclusivly heterosexual or exlusively homosexual (somewhere between 2 to 5% each); most are somewhere in between those two extremes.

Slang terms for heterosexuials include straight.
Many (ignorant/prejudiced) heterosexuals like to abuse or try to change sexual minorities, like homosexuals (who love members of the same sex), bisexuals (who love both sexes), pansexuals (who are love anybody; male, female, intersex, whoever), and asexuals (who have no sexual desires whatsoever), and seem to believe that these people can become straight, despite that sexual orientation is pretty much fixed for life.

What causes heterosexuality? People always ask what causes pan-, bi-, a-, and homosexuality, but hardly question heterosexuality.

One who is sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex.

For some reason some people (def. 2) seem to think that heterosexuals are all homophobic or think other sexual preferences are 'wrong'. Really, most heterosexual people don't have a proplem with homosexuality at all.

Heterosexual is the most common sexual orientation in the world, not because everyone is secretly gay and don't want to come out with it, but because people are born that way. However quite a lot of the new generation are gay or bisexual so this could change soon.

So please don't think that heterosexual people are all completely anit-gay, only straight because it's their religeon, secretly homosexual, or anything like that. Not all heterosexuals make it their life's work to abuse homosexuals. We've usually got better stuff to do.
When I read def 2, I felt ashamed of my heterosexuality. I thought to myself, "This must have been how gay people felt before they were accepted."

People that are both romantically and sexually attracted to the opposite gender. So females are attracted to males/males are attracted to females.

This is obviously the most common sexual orientation in the world, due to biology. (You can only get offspring if a male and female have sex) and probably due to religious and social factors (it's a crime in some places to not be heterosexual, and many religions condemn homosexuality/bisexuality)

However, just because it's the most common, and "socially/biologically/religiously" corrct, doesn't necessarily mean homosexuality and bisexuality are wrong or "weird".

Everyone should have the choice and right to be what they want to be, including their sexual choice. It's in no one's place to judge or condemn people because of their sexuality. Just like it's wrong to judge people based on his/her race, sex or socio-economic class.



I'm a bisexual male, but prefers females to other males. (Bisexuality does not mean you are secretly gay, or like both genders equally)

So I am half heterosexual? lol.
