You've heard of homophobia I'm sure, but as a gay man who has encountered name-calling and harrassment, and was even beat up once by str8 guys, I think I've become somewhat heterophobic, but only towards men.
When I see a really macho str8 guy I automatically cringe inside and get scared. I don't get scared that he'll beat me up or anything, because quite frankly I'm very built and don't act flamboyant at all, you'd never know I was gay in the first place. I still just get this fear whenever I'm around really macho str8 men, maybe I'm afriad that they'll find out and in return they'll be HOMO-phobic.
I don't know, any suggestions? I have like one or two str8 guy friends, but they're very open minded and not the "meat-head/macho" types anyway.
Oh, and if you're an ignorant A$$wipe that would like to say something like, "Why don't you just turn str8 and be normal?" Then save it, I've encountered much more harrassment from this world than you could dish out in a couple sentences.
