heteromosexual

A heteromosexual is a person who is heterosexual or 'straight', but would still date the person if they came out as transgender, although they are not necessarily attracted to men/women/enby people.

Someone who is heteromosexual may consider themselves straight, but will still love their partner the same way if they decided to transition.
Heteromosexuals are not sexually attracted to any other gender than their opposite, but will make exceptions for partners they are already with.
Not being a heteromosexual and leaving a partner because they are transitioning is not wrong. It is your decision and it is likely a very tough and confusing situation anyway. You have no reason to feel bad about it.
Friend : I heard your partner came out as trans, are you going to leave them?
Lad : Nah, I'm a heteromosexual - I'll still date them even though they're trans.

Friend : So you don't have a problem with them transitioning? But you aren't gay, right?
Lad : I'm straight, yes, but I've already fallen in love with them, and their gender identity wouldn't change that.
Friend : Oh, cool. Now I can still write fanfiction about you two.
Lad : Wait what-

Heterosexual

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."

heteronormativity

A term that can be used to describe institutions, policies and beliefs that reinforce the rigid categories of male and female. These categories, supposedly, determine our sex, sexuality, sexual desire, gender identity, and gender roles.
The proposed law to make sure homosexuals never have marriage rights is just another step down the slippery heteronormativity slope.

Heterodoxist

A person who discriminates against people with different standards of orthodoxy; particularly with regards to behavior or belief; those who discriminate against those with customs they consider "unnatural" or "taboo".

Heterosexual

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.

heterosexism

A discriminative attitude grounded on the sexual orientation criteria, and more specifically -our society being still what it is- a discriminative attitude towards gays and lesbians.
The heterosexism of certain definitions of the Urban Dictionnary really scares the shit out of me.
