It just negates the debate for me and this is obviously a subject people feel very strongly about but it's making more people step away from the debate which is a shame.

I'm a little confused at the direction the thread has taken over the past few days when the original OP was so innocent. All that was literally asked is 'is it acceptable to poke fun at straight people', heterophobia just happened to be the word used to describe it.
