There are so many homosexual people in the world that view heterosexuals in the same way that many heterosexuals view homosexuals. Homophobics are constantly looking down on homosexuals as lesser people. It is our fight to be equal and to have the same basic rights as anyone else despite their sexuality. Why then do so many gay people look down on the heterosexual community? I am not saying all of them of course but it is a common problem just like homophobia. Instead of homosexuals trying to get equal rights they are trying to assert themselves are better then heterosexuals (a standpoint long held by heterosexuals over homosexuals). By switching the tables what have we accomplished but returning to square one? In fact many people who support gay rights are straight themselves. So why condemn the very people who are trying to help us (of course not all of them are willing to help us)? In so doing we are stooping to their level. Hopefully those homosexuals that do feel their share of heterophobia will come to realize that that kind of thinking only hurts our fight for equality.

I still don't see how straight people are AFRAID of us... We aren't the ones that kick their butts cuz they're a certain sexuality, or harass them, or embarass/humiliate them....
hey GQ i agree on the heterophobia cuz i have a couple of gay friends that dont trust or are uncomfortable around striaght ppl this isn't good cuz we are not trying to divide straight and gay ppl we are trying to get them together which can only be acheived threw understanding straight ppl not all but the the homophobs need to try to tolerate us but we need to understand that they are not all out to get us.
i definat;y agree. being a gay teen in america is not an easy job. And by true definition to be "phobic" is to fear and physically condem due to fear. where in the world do u see hetero people being abused, spited,taken advantage of? so there is no such thing as heterophobic anything, especially in a society where anything thats not "normal" is cast away. Take a look at our "new" president

It's called adoption. There are alot of kids who need and want a home. Please stop making yourself look stupid.
I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha
wao! i never heard of heterophobia! man where is the world heading to oh and this man+man or woman+woman thing is kinda getting stupid! i mean we know that homosexuals can't have kids! so what! let us have more! lol
As I explained earlier, it's not the hateful sort of fear, so much as fear of being injured. People get their ***** kicked for being ***** and for trying to make the world better for other gays that can't do it alone.
And whether or not it was sarcastic it was still rude.
Iceland, that was not only totally uncalled for but incredibly rude. There is too heterophobia - it's manifested differently, though.
Not to stereotype or anything, but I think it's more prevalent in much more conservative cities and states, like Montana and Utah or Wyoming or Kentucky or down south or places like that, where religion is extremely prevalent
I agree sleeprocker, although Ididn't even find it that scary when people were trying to hurt me/kill me. Maybe it's because they were only high school students. Or possibly because I am so boneheaed that I stand up for things i believe in and don't back down when I should. Either one.

Okay...I get it. I have nothing against straight people, it's just the homophobes that **** me off. I just wish a lot of straight people knew that homsexuality is NOT a choice. There are a FEW!! lesbians and gay who chose it but they're crazy. I do see what you're saying though.

Yes yes yes crzy. Yes GQ is a mag which is why I like the initials of my noisename (even if they were accidental). I like any and all magazines with cute guys on it. IMHO you are right. It isn't just gays (I had just read an artical on this when I wrote the post) it is many civil rights activists. It goes from a fight for equality to a fight for superiority and that isn't right. It undermines the whole ideal of the civil rights movement. And by the way MXPX I am a Christian, believe in the Bible, believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior, and believe that I will go to heaven. And I have sufficient biblical evidence to support my beliefs. So have a nice day.

GQ (hey, isn't that a magazine? I'm pretty sure I bought it once in the airport because it had a gorgeous boy on the cover...sorry. off subject.), I completely agree. Sometimes, when a group of people fights for equal their rights, they go too far, and end up with the same prejudice against others that they were trying to overcome. The same thing happens in other areas, like racism. It would be great if when people said "equal", they meant it. Instead, one person/group/thing always has to be better than another. It's ridiculous.
