The minority can not oppress the majority.

lol there's a huge difference between LGBT people saying "straight people haha" and straight people actually oppressing LGBT. Like boohoo, heterophobia

Straight cisgender people have never been oppressed for being straight or cisgender. End of.

Well if it means you have a bunch of straight people overrunning your neighborhood then complaining about the gay life style maybe gays won't like it so much.

Gay people being frustrated with being oppressed, discriminated and outright attacked by heterosexuals is not the equivalent of homophobia

Mezter

That's stupid

Roman Holiday

No.

Stupid heterosexuals can keep their straight tears.

That's not true. Minority in this country (USA) is wealthy. They certainly oppress the poor who are the majority compared with them. And the middle class as well.

What matters is systematic power imbalances in social, political and educational settings. LGBT people have none of this mostly due to being criminalized, marginalized, demonized and literally straight up killed/shunned for who they are. They could be the majority and it still wouldn't matter.

No. Heteresexuals can get married in any coutry, something homosexuals can't do in many countries. This Alone answers your question.

Just because Heterosexuality is normal, doesn't mean Heterophobia doesn't exist. I mean showering is normal but people still have Ablutophobia (fear of water). It's funny that on ATRL of all places people are saying it doesn't exist when 80% of you believe every man is gay and get angry if you see them in a heterosexual relationship. I've also met many gay men who squirm at the thought of vagina or straight **** and think it's "disgusting". It definitely exists.

It can't possibly exist when straight people have never in history been discriminated against and never will be because they will always make up the overwhelming majority

Yes. This forum swears every man is gay.

The dumbest thing I've read all week.

It has nothing to do with the "normality" of heterosexuality. You can't opress a majority, simple as that.

MissAmericanDream

Yes, obviously not to the extent of homophobia but it does exist.

So Heterophobia can't exist because heterosexuals aren't oppressed in society? You're the one who makes no sense. I never said Heteosexuals are oppressed.
