Homophobia by it's most basic definition is hatred or aversion towards people based on their sexuality. The oppression gay people have suffered is discrimination at work, homophobic mindsets can absolutely exist without discrimination following. It's not "dumb AF" at all.
If somebody said that straight people have suffered in a similar way to gay people because of their sexuality, that would be pretty dumb, but that hasn't been said or even suggested.
If somebody has a prejudiced opinion on someone for being heterosexual (and who are we to say that there is nobody in the world who does?), then they are heterophobic.

Yeah, nobody in here has said anything of the sort.
