Anybody can face discrimination end off

In a completely different universe where homosexuality is the established norm, perhaps. Put honestly there's a lot of grabbing at straws here, and you've completely ignored my previous posts.

In what ways have you, as a straight person, been discriminated against in the last 12 months? I'd like examples please.

Oops, I assumed he was. Didn't expect a gay person to honestly think heterophbia existed..

I pose my question to the OP then - when in the last 12 months have you been discriminated against in the last 12 months?

Maybe you ought to look back at the attacks I get all the time on here if you want proof. If not then Perez left plenty of clues out there and other examples would be open to a differential interpretation to the subject which ultimately could open other cans of worms, so better left alone.

To be fair to Adam, I think that heterophobia technically exists, in the sense that anyone can have a phobia of anything. It's just not something that needs to be taken seriously imo because, well like most people have said, it's not something that impacts people or society in any harmful way, whereas homophobia does. (Don't want to speak for you Adam, but I assume that's what you were saying?)

As I've said above it does exists yet it's not as major problem as homophobia but nobody should be attacked for who they do or don't like

I'd agree with this tbh. I think there can be some resentment towards straight people from the gay community due to the fact that straight people are simply more privileged in this world. To call it Heterophobia is silly though as, like you said, there's no historical aspects or contexts. Straight people have never suffered injustices for being straight, they've never had to deal with discrimination on the grounds of their sexuality, they've never had their rights infringed because they are straight.

It's always going to be an emotionally charged topic because Homophobia is a real and present problem whilst Heterophobia is a concept that doesn't really apply to the real world.
