Queers United Welcomes all Homophobes to Our Site

So Queers United has had its first homophobic comment, yay! This comment was left on the entry about homophobe Greg Gutfeld of Fox News.

"fuck all you gay bastards..jesus christ keep all that fag shit to yerself you fucking queer..and queers united is a ridiculous name..and all of you are ridiculous people and should be put on a giant boat set a sail and sank"

I want to thank the person who wrote this, you inspire me and hopefully others here to continue our activism and educate and create awareness to stop homophobes like yourself.

Word of the Gay: "Heterophobia"

"Heterophobia" - The irrational fear or aversion to heterosexual people.

There are a limited number of hate crimes against heterosexual people by homosexual people based on sexual orientation, but there have been a few instances. In heavily LGBT neighborhoods there have been some isolated cases of harassment against straight people.

---

Alternate use of the term:
"Heterophobia" has also been used by more conservative LGBT circles who are opposed to the traditional gay rights platform. They use the term to imply that extending equal rights to LGBT people is tantamount to discrimination against heterosexual people.

The term has been used by conservative circles who feel that when more liberal groups target them by calling them homophobic based on their positions that they can counter that liberal LGBT groups are being so called "heterophobic".

Word of the Gay: "Heterosexual Privilege"

"Heterosexual Privilege: The societal assumption and norm that all people are heterosexual. The basic civil rights and social privileges that a heterosexual person automatically receives, that are systematically denied to gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons, simply because of their sexual orientation."
