Gay people can be prejudiced against straight people, just like they can be prejudiced against themselves, transgendered people, bisexuals etc but that's not comparable to Homophobia. You are arguing that gay people can be prejudiced and that's true but heterophobia is not a thing.

There was little in your post other than dismissive and patronising generalisations that don't actually relate to anyone in this thread.

Homophobia starts at an individual level. It's widespread nature is what makes it a major social issue. Quite clearly it isn't a major social issue for straight people, but there absolutely can be heterophobia at an individual level.

At some point this becomes a debate over a definition, in which case the actual word to describe the prejudice doesn't actually matter. It can and no doubt does exist, and whatever you call it isn't important.
