Only straight people have privelege if you are speaking in terms of sexual orientation. So, no. It doesn't exist.

But discrimination and bigotry aren't exclusively the same thing, people can hold prejudiced opinions against certain people without active discrimination coming into play.

And all corners of society can be the victim of bigoted views. Does widespread discrimination happen? No, it doesn't. But does the heterophobic mindset exist in some? I've no doubt that it absolutely does.
