^ and i won't read the whole first article because it's biaised as fuck toward LGBT. Like some said already, just because straights don't face the same oppresion than LGBT peoples mean that heterophobia is not real because like i said, just hating on someone or something because it's het is enough to be called heterophobia.
And you completely missed the point. Since you didn't say anything, I assume you read second article? Because it has exactly the same premise as in black people can't be racist towards white people. It's the same principle. Straight people can experience discrimination and insults, but you can't really call it a phobia, because to be phobia it'd have to be on the same lvl as other phobias.
The point of first article is that LGBT people experience actual oppression and we're still nowhere near ending it, so straight people using the same word and acting as if they're experiencing the same treatment is derailing from actual issues LGBT has. Most people who complain about no straight pride or no only-white people spaces or heterophobia, are the people who don't think LGBT people face discrimination everyday for who they are and in fact use it to justify why they should be able to be bigoted like they always were. They're the terms reactionary uses to justify hating on LGBT people, so you can understand why some people don't take kindly to it.
