..also without exception we all agree that it's not remotely close to homophobia and the prejudice and 'hate' shown to homosexuals..they've been imprisoned for their sexuality etc...so really we're all on the same page and of the same mind-set here...so a word really and how it's defined is the debate..?..well for me, if 'heterophobia' was a thing then that would put it on the same level and in equality to homophobia, I mean it does that automatically...which we're all agreeing it isn't so that's confusing...Heterophobia was used in single quotations as well because it's not a recognised/acknowledged and defined 'thing' as such ..but I don't dismiss..(and no one else does in this thread..)...any bad stuff that anyone has been subjected to, not only for their sexuality but for anything about them and who they are....
..anyway, to some extent I agree with Glenn and there again only for me in that the thread has run it's course because we all seem to be singing the same song...so I'll go about my day now and retreat quietly...

No problem Ammi. I agree - I think it is a 'dead' horse now. Have a great day love.
