            Unreasoning prejudice against heterosexuals or their sexuality, the [LGBT[ equivalent of [reverse racism], and the inverse of [homophobia]. Commonly manifested as a disgust with the very idea of straight sexuality and/or reproduction, it copies the prejudices of homophobia, including the idea that straightness is unnatural, or unhealthy, or can somehow be cured. Frequently paired with prejudice towards the opposite sex, this is surprisingly common in the LGBT community, but is often not addressed, due to concerns political correctness.
            At the same time, it has also been used a [propaganda] slur by [homophobes], who level the charge at any gay or lesbian who stands up for their rights. As such, it is a highly contentious term.
