"Homophobia" doesn't fit with the other two, but I'll answer anyways. Racism-I think people have the right to be racist, but anyone that IS racist is a moron. Sexism-Same as racism. They have the right, but they're stupid if they are sexist. "Homophobia"-People have the right to be "homophobic" (which isn't even usually an accurate term-implies that anyone that is against homosexuality has an "irrational fear" of them). Since there is still uncertainty as to which side is correct (the other two issues having been resolved), I don't think that the government should accept either side just yet-they shouldn't be for or against homosexuality just now until we as a people resolve the matter a bit more.

Is homosexuality a cause of suicide or is it the act of homophobia?

Homosexuality is not a cause of suicide. No one would kill themselves over being gay, unless society made them think that it was a negative thing through homophobic and heterosexist actions and messages. Anti-gay bullying in schools makes many young people believe that suicide is the only way to escape, and in some cases makes them believe that there is actually something wrong with them because they are gay (which is when homophobia and heterosexism have become internalized), because otherwise why would they be being bullied. The continued silence that surrounds homosexuality may also drive some people to suicide because they can not talk about themselves, and feel completely isolated and alone. These are just a few examples of how homophobia and heterosexism drive people to suicide. But, it is homophobia and heterosexism that drive people to suicide, not the mere fact of being gay.


What is your personal position on the issues of racism homophobia and sexism in?

Racism is an oversold political wedge to divide and conquer the masses. There are, to be sure many people who harbor and foster racist attitudes, it doesn't deserve the attention it gets. The issue of racism as it is discussed in todays political arena only serves to convince people that natural rights alone are not enough in personal and individual freedom and that government created rights would better serve those individuals who, for whatever reasons, believe their natural rights are not enough. It does not matter what color your skin is, if you are alive you are free and being free you are in possession of the same rights as anybody else. No other rights or privileges are necessary as your own personal natural rights will suffice.. Homophobia and sexism are invented political wedges following the racist paradigm, again inventing new or special rights for people based on their sexual proclivities. Are there homophobic people in this world? I'm not even sure what that term really means. Is it wrong to fear and not understand a sexual desire not common amongst us all? No, it is not wrong. Is it wrong to persecute someone because you don't understand their sexual proclivities? Yes, it is absolutely wrong, and there are no special rights required to bring justice in to those who've criminally persecuted someone simply because they are homosexual. In terms of sexism, I have long suspected that World War IV will be the battle between the sexes. Men and women, in spite of loving and caring for each other for more than 10,000 years still can't figure out how to get along and both sexes are guilty of sexism.

Why is homophobia a problem?

Homophobia is technically Hatred or a strong Dislike towards people who are homosexual... attracted to the opposite sex. As you basically know that, it comes down to the fact that people who are Gay/Lesbian or even Bi-sexual are often discriminated about it. That's just wrong. But the main reason for why it's a problem is similar to Racism being one. Racism is treating people differently cuz of their skin color... Nationalism is...well let's not go there. And homophobia is mistreating someone because they like the same sex, it's a problem because in some cases, many individuals who are Homosexual become targets of bullying, mistreat and in some cases they're often targets of Assult. Many people who are Gay. Be it man or woman. Are like you and me, they're normal... They're just Biologically programmed to like the same sex, or maybe have attractions for bits of both (bi-sexuality). How homosexuality is biologically normal is difficult to explain. But think of it this way. All Animals show Bi-sexual and homosexual activity, so do humans. But only humans show Homophobic reactions. Who's not normal now, eh? But really. In general it is definetly a problem... Often Some families disown their children because of their child's Sexuality. That's WRONG. Grotesquelly wrong. But some people's views are hard to change... Racism, Homophobia, Religion Bashing, Nationalism. The list goes on...they're all problems... and if seen through, and fixed. It'll be a giant step to helping nations, people and cultures find peace and understanding as well as maybe Friendship in eachother. Hope i helped!
