What harm does it do to anyone to acknowledge the possibility that heterophobia could exist? To me there seems to be an irrational fear that it could exist as a concept.

but how could it exist? gay people have totally justified reasons for fearing heterosexuals, so there's nothing irrational about that.
There is absolutely nothing in history to give straight people a rational reason to fear homosexuals. some would say religion, but religion itself is irrational.
what is an irrational fear of straight people? that they will round you up and kill you? rape you? torture you? it's not irrational because it happens every single day all around the world.
