Chris, I'm not sure where you see "heterophobia" in this thread. Maybe you could refer to some specific lines???

Technically, heterophobia would be fear (or hatred) of people just because they are straight (heterosexual); in this thread, I see people talking negatively about certain bigoted, intolerant behaviors, but I don't see anyone here saying anything negative about anyone's sexual orientation...and I certainly don't see anything that makes absolute negative assumptions about heterosexuals as a demographic group.

Actually, it seems to me like you've read a lot of stuff into this thread that is not, in fact, here. If you do the same thing with people's "looks" when you go to GLBT meetings, it's really not surprising that you'd feel unwelcomed. Apparently, GLBT people are not the only ones who can be "so sensitive!" LOL!
