What even is that? Really, though?

If that's what you've taken away from my opinion or anyone else's then you haven't understood it at all.

Gay people can be prejudiced but heterophobia is not and will never be a thing because gay people will always be a minority and straight people will always be the majority. It's just a biological fact.

I don't think I've ever said that it's okay for the gays to insult straight people either, any gay person that does is a hypocritical dick but you can't call it heterophobia because it will always will always look like a joke in comparison to homophobia because it is. Everything in this world is balanced in favour of straight people and gay people have had to fight for everything they have and, even if they wanted to (very few of them would), they cannot persecute straight people in the same way that the gays have been persecuted thus heterophobia cannot exist.

Gay people can be prejudiced but the whole idea of heterophobia is laughable and nonexistent.
