Heterosexist 

Those who unfairly discriminate against homosexuals; Homophobes
The Westoboro Baptist Church promotes a rather heterosexist stand.

Whether homosexist or heterosexist, it's all sexist, and everyone needs to get over themselves. These sexist political agendas are ruining our culture. Everyone should just teach their children about sexuality THEMSELVES, since it's mostly a religious vs. anti-religious argument, and not have a teacher indoctrinate them into either side of it in a classroom. If they are to be taught sex ed, teach REAL health, i.e. what happens to the body chemically and physically during puberty, where a baby comes from, and STDs/STIs.

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
