Dogwhistling for homophobe, much like racialist and racial realist are for racist.
A clumsy attempt to detach one's behaviour from the well deserved public scorn it normally elicits by repackaging it in a neologism.
"I keep telling you, I'm not a homophobe, I'm a heteroseparatist!"
"And I keep telling you to please fuck off. I'm immunocompromised and cannot get the jab, you have been spreading spittle on me for the past five minutes and I've never seen you take the more sanitary basic precautions even before the pandemic."
"Whoa, calm down Hitler. Jesus, you'll put us in camps anyday soon."

A troubled soul who is so disgusted by homosexuality that he just can't stop thinking about it.
Did you see that the heteroseparatist put up yet another blog post about homosexuality?

Someone who seeks to mask their discriminatory words and actions with regard to homosexuality beneath a veil of high minded moral disapproval. Someone who believes heterosexual couples are superior to homosexual couples, and therefore deserve respect and rights that are not afforded to heterosexuals.

Person 2: No, no! He's a 'heteroseparatist'.
Person 1: Oh, so he's like a homophobe, but with less integrity and honesty?
