Let's put it this way, if a club didn't allow gay people in there, that would be classed as homophobia, so if a gay club refused to let straight people in (I know a load of straight people who go to gay clubs with friends) what would that be classed as? revenge? no it would be classed and a group of people being ostracised because of their sexuality, which in essence is the same thing as homophobia, so I do think hetereophobia has the potential to exist, it's just highly unlikely.

Beautifully well said. I find it upsetting that people think it's not as big a deal when a white person/straight person/man etc etc receives hatred for who they are. Which is something they cannot help...
