Judith Butler

I think we won't be able to understand the operations of trans-phobia, homophobia, if we don't understand how certain kinds of links are forged between gender and sexuality in the minds of those who want masculinity to be absolutely separate from femininity and heterosexuality to be absolutely separate from homosexuality.

American Philosopher

Edward Gorey

I realize that homosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is - but then, of course, heterosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is, too. And being a man is a serious problem and being a woman is, too. Lots of things are problems.

American Author

Morrissey

War, I thought, was the most negative aspect of male heterosexuality. If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men.

English Musician

Ed Case

I believe that the fact and the reality of homosexuality and heterosexuality and of opposite and same-gender unions should be taught in our public schools without a value judgement system also being offered.

American Politician

Simone de Beauvoir

In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.

French Writer

Lisa Kennedy Montgomery

I have never kissed a woman, but Madonna in all her glory with coney bras and burgundy black 'Vogue' lips makes me rethink my heterosexuality.

Bruce Jackson

America has the longest prison sentences in the West, yet the only condition long sentences demonstrably cure is heterosexuality.

Public Servant

Pim Fortuyn

In Holland, homosexuality is treated the same way as heterosexuality. In what Islamic country does that happen?

Dutch Politician

Jeanette Winterson

I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

British Novelist

Rostam Batmanglij

I don't think teenagers in 2017 identify with heterosexuality, and that's a positive.

American Musician

Understanding perceptions of heterosexuality can vary greatly across different cultures and communities.

Cultural Sensitivity

The term is often used when people talk about their dating preferences or experiences.

Dating Context

Sometimes, people state their heterosexuality to clarify misunderstandings about their sexual orientation.

Identity Clarification

Individuals often come to understand their heterosexuality during adolescence or early adulthood.

Personal Discovery

Heterosexuality can describe platonic relationships where individuals simply enjoy the company of the opposite sex.

Non-Sexual Use

Be cautious when assigning heterosexuality to others; it's respectful to ask or wait for them to self-identify.
