I resent a straight person claiming that they have been bashed because they are straight. I don't know ANYONE in the gay community that doesn't have a friend that has been beaten up because they were gay. None.

Yet here is a person claiming that straight people get beaten up because they are straight. It's lunacy.

Wouldn't 'heterophobia' cinnabonbon Feb 2014 #4

IMO, "heterophobia" is akin to "reverse racism," ie, made up bullshit by false "victims." Behind the Aegis Feb 2014 #5

Oh, don't get me wrong. I agree with you. cinnabonbon Feb 2014 #8

No worries. I understood your post. It just gave me a good jumping off point. Behind the Aegis Feb 2014 #10
