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!
