Heterophobia

A term coined within recent years, which means the hate or general dislike of heterosexual people. It is extremely controversial and scrutinized, specifically by 2SLGBTQ+ people. Now personally I believe it is an issue, although it isn't as big of an issue, it's still as important. The aforementioned 2SLGBTQ+ people (Two-Spirited, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer +*) do have a certain group of them that enjoy scrutinizing heterosexual people for their orientation, or acting as if they're superior to heterosexuals, this is mostly seen on Tumblr, Twitter and rarely on Instagram. (Now please keep in mind I'm saying a certain group, not generalizing all of these people, which I've actually seen the reverse happen on the aforementioned social media platforms.) Though heterosexuals aren't marginalized, that doesn't leave an excuse to attempt to scrutinize them. For example, if a heterosexual was mean to you, it doesn't make them all horrible and give you an excuse to hurt them on social media. Same goes for having a bad experience with homosexuals, it doesn't make them all horrible and give you an excuse to hurt them on social media. Both sides have problems, but the (legitimate, not the ones homophobes have) problems with 2SLGBTQ+ people sometimes go ignored. I wish we could all get along, but there will always be hate in this world, on both sides
*The "+" means other sexualities to abbreviate the acronym.

Emma: I fucking hate those dumb Straggots! I'm so oppressed!
Mike: Whoa! isn't that hetererophobia?
Emma: Shut up, you inferior cishet!
Heterophobia isn't a good thing.

Nor is Homophobia!
