Isrealis aren't Arabs, or Europeans, they're Jews.

No as racism is much worse and has been about for hundreds of years.
Homophobia is recent

It's both bad you can't differentiate them it's just both terrible and it shouldn't be allowed but it makes individuals tougher and stronger in my opinion everyone's opinion is different 😊
Guys I must say I'm quite hurt. I'm Gay. And I absolutely depise the degradation of people simply because of their race, colour of those skin and religion. I would defend the rights of 'these' people to the death. But I'm just not getting the feeling the people I'm defending would defend my rights as a gay teen or would many others defend my rights. Either way I have my morals. I do NOT associate with racists or homophobes.

OK maybe I phrased that wrong.But its not in the same way as with gay people.In nearly half the world's countries just being gay is illegal.There is hardly a similar law applying to black people say.There is no law in half the world's countries saying you can't be black for example.Nobody bans the promoting of the black lifestyle like with gay people in Russia.And just because Islamic law is in place doesn't detract from my point,homophobia is still homophobia even under the guise of religion.
exactly. Racism is serious yes, but homophobia occurs in so many more countries than what racism does.
Original post by Robby2312
Really? Where in the world are people killed because of their skin colour? There are at least 7 countries that punish being gay with death.And there are loads more where it's illegal and you can be imprisoned.To say that racism is the bigger issue is just ignoring entire swathes of the world.

Unarmed black men are being killed by police in America everyday, and even with video proof there is no justice.

How can I be homophobic I'm gay. I'm pointing out that people are pushing homophobia to the back because they are seeing it as less important than racism. Please read what is wrote first.

Black people have been racially abused and attacked in Russia, just for being black lol.

May I ask why you think homophobia is equal with racism? I disagree with you but I would just like to know

Sorry I didn't know that

I wouldn't say they're equal. I just think that if your black in a predominantly white country you might be verbally abused but your not going to be stoned to death or drowned whereas a lot of countries issue this punishment simply for being gay.

I just think it's wrong I also believe homophobica and racism is simply down to ignorance. When you arent brought up correctly by your parents a hate breeds in the person.

As I said it's down to opinion

Have you seen unarmed black males in America being killed? Where there is video evidence that they have done nothing? There is a lot of antiblackness around the world e.g of a black man went to Russia, although there are no laws against black people, they could be stoned or drowned.

I agree, but do you think one is worse than the other or are you neutral?
