At the moment, this looks like a very odd, purely political message. Or, to use CP's own phrasing, here's my view of what the "Heterophibia" article should look like:

{{cquote|The term '''heterophobia''' is a snarl word used by conservative activists to verbally tar and feather anyone who dares to oppose anti-gay bias. The term implies that everyone who opposes anti-gay bias is being irrational, i.e., literally suffering from a [[mental illness]] (see also [[Phobia]]).

It is primarily used by conservative activists to portray opposition to the anti-gay agenda as irrational, based on fear or hatred, and to smear homosexuals and anybody who supports them. It is intended to sound like a form of mental illness, but unlike actual phobias, it is not a term for any recognized psychological condition.}}
