What if Heterophobia became a thing

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

I can't say I've really encountered it, but I have no doubt this is a thing somewhere. There's always a fetish for something, a fear of something, and so on. I've learned by now that no matter how bizarre the thing in question may seem, there's always someone out there who sincerely believes something. I imagine that applies here as well.

 

 

Sexual "phobias" do not exist. It's just extremism with 'politically correct' reasoning....

 

I'd like to agree with your sentiment, but I actually have encountered people who are legitimately frightened of homosexuals, or at least find them deeply unsettling. There's an extremist angle to it, to be sure, but its not just that.

[Sigma 768]

I'd imagine that heterophobics have the same mindset as the people who came up with '#BurnWhiteJesus'. They're so stupid that you can't even take them seriously.

[GGG 176]

just go to tumblr and you will find plenty of hetero and cisphobia.

[Adachi 772]

It exists. I heard there are many homosexuals (in no way am I saying all, or even most) who bash on heteros, or at the very least, say that being homosexual is better.

Yet most, if not all Christians understand that marriage is between one man and one woman, and that marriage is not a man "owning" a woman as though she were some form of slave but creating a covenant with that woman?

Need I point to the first marriage in history? That which is recorded in Genesis 2? Where God had joined Adam and Eve together? There was only one man and only one woman. And the man did not claim her as though she were mere property, but rather instead God had provided her as a companion and a helper to man: as an equal made out of man and for man.

I'm not a Christian (not Orthodox anyway), but I just wanted to point out that in original scripture, Adam's first wife was not Eve, as many Christians think, but Lilith. The reason we don't hear about Lilith is because when the Bible was being made, they left out part of Genesis that mentioned Lilith. Just look where it suddenly goes from "man and woman were created equal out of the same dirt" to "God put Adam into a deep sleep, and took out a rib and used it to create Eve". All Lilith wanted was to be able to sometimes take the dominant sexual position, but Adam said "Get beneath me, woman!", so Lilith used the holy name of God to fly to a cave. God sent 3 angels to try to convince her to return to Adam, and when she refused, God created Eve. He created her out of one of Adam's ribs, so she would be born submissive. Lilith, wanting to get back at God and Adam, decided to show that Eve could think for herself too. She's the one who disguised herself as a serpent, and told Eve how if she ate the fruit, her eyes would be opened and she would not die.

 

That's the original scripture of the Hebrews anyway. What I myself actually believe might sound crazy to some, and I don't want to turn this into a religious thread, so I will save that for another day.

You guys seem really concerned about this.

 

Look, because of biological reasons heterosexuals are going to always outnumber homosexuals by a large margin.

 

Any person who is embittered enough to hate heterosexuals to the point of discrimination is ultimately going to be making life harder for themselves if anything, because it is going to severely limit their options for who they can interact with.

[Sir Hugsalot 8,620]

...such thing really exists? I am all respectful for homo/bisexuals, but heterophobia would be no better than homophobia. It would be just disrespectful and on top of all I want to see  humanity surviving without heterosexuals... 

 

Why can't anyone sleep with whoever he/she wants (for as long as it is not hurtful for other person like pedophilia) and not care about who others sleep with? >.> 

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

That wouldn't make any sense, but if it does, humanity would be screwed

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I have yet to encounter it, and frankly it sounds absurdly implausible for it to happen in the foreseeable future for reasons that should be obvious.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

I...don't think that would ever become a thing, no. 

[Cyclone 1066 3,616]

What if it already is a thing?

[TBD 17,228]

The circle of life will cease to exist. 

[Prospekt 10,984]

It's not real in a serious sense. I've seen plenty of "ewwww straight people/cishets are so gross" talk on the internet but it's never meant to be taken seriously.

I make jokes that try to make straight people sound nasty sometimes, but A they're jokes and B gay jokes of the same kind exist and are everywhere.

Pretty good "reverse psychology" video actually, for its time. So sad I never noticed it back in the day. Didn't get enough attention.

I watched it in Personal and Social Education (basically everything your guidance teacher will teach you),
I thought it was weird, but thinking back about it, it does show the way that Hetrophobia would exsist (if it did).

To be fair, the vast majority of rapists identify as "straight". you have to wonder if there is a connection....

To also be fair the vast majority of people identify as "straight" too. But still I've got to steal that one.

Yup. I am aware it lacks statistical rigor, but its a good line to use on bigots

[Ittoni 536]

i don't know why but i feel, deep in my heart, that some day it will happen... because we are humans and we just have to hate on something.

[The Historian 515]

With as much as some people shit on my people, a little hate in their direction might be a little warranted.

This is, of course, lunacy. Stop being hateful brats, society. Time to get out of mental middle school.

Heterophobia is a real thing:

People are afraid of all sorts of things from clowns to death to even plants. 

[Samurai Equine 45,837]

Are we reviving old topics, or did this just never die and I didn't realize it til now? 

Either way, a lot sure has changed in my life since I last posted in here...
I even saw another funny comic where one guy says "Gay people need straight people to make more gay people!" And someone else clearly wanted to reply or call them out on that logic, but then realized the first guy has a point. 

[Limestone-Pie 188]

While individual heterophobia might exist, it would be completely daft to assume that it would become a dominant ideology mostly because it defies any real logical sense. In an ideal world ones sexual preference shouldn't matter, people are people and they shouldn't be judged solely on who they like - that kind of mindset is medieval. 

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Not sure that ideology would spread, but I don't doubt some people are heterophobic. I just hope that, by the time that comes around, I'm dead and cold.

[Rarity Gemstones 189]

If such a thing became a rampant mentality, the human experience would come to an end in a matter of a century.
