Homophobia is the product of views analogous to racism. Prejudice is the product of racism. Racism is a cause, homophobia is an effect.

Racism is an effect just like Homophobia is. People are racist for different reasons: (economical, territorial, superficial, cultural, etc.)

Prejudice/Bias is the cause of Racism/Homophobia. They are one in the same.

They are both prejudices against a person for something he or she cannot help. Prejudices against a person for what he or she is

IF a man is murdered because he is:

a) black
b) gay

There really is no true difference there. There is no "better" or "worse" situation. The situation would be the same either way, because in the end a man was murdered for being who he was.

Racism is a belief that one's own race is superior to other races. People who believe racism are racists.

That is one type of Racism....Racism can be as grandiose as that, it can also be as little as, "i dont want my daughter date black people"

I despise myself for using the term, but you're looking for the word "heterosexism." That's what causes homophobia. Racism causes prejudice/discrimination against people of other races.

Heterosexism does not cause Homophobia. Heterosexism is another form of prejudice against Gays, but its weaker.

Racism and Homophobia are a type of prejudice. Neither cause prejudice, they are already types of prejudices.

I'm not sure why you pulled morality into this.

Do you feel Racism and Homophobia have nothing to do with morality ? I find it surprising that you of all people would not thnk morality was involved...

Not particularly , there could be several different circumstances surrounding that opinion.

Racism is often caused by different circumstances.

Definition of Racism"

1) The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2) Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Definition of Homophobia"

1) Fear of or contempt for lesbians and gay men.

2) Behavior based on such a feeling.

Heterosexism

-Discrimination or prejudice against lesbians or gay men by heterosexual people.

An earlier definition of this term is: Heterosexism is a belief or argument that male-female sexuality is the only natural, normal, or moral mode of sexual behavior, and is also used to refer to the effects of that instinct. The word 'heterosexualism' has also been proposed to mean essentially the same thing. [2] This word has been suggested as an alternative to homophobia [3], in part because it uses a parallel structure to sexism or racism. The intent of heterosexism is the examination of the cultural bias towards non-heterosexuals rather than individual bias, which is the focus of homophobia.

I'm going by what is written in my liberal sociology book. As it is a sociology book, its definitions count for more than dictionary.com's definitions since it was, you know, written by specialists in sociology, in which racism and homophobia are studied.

Well the fact you can't even get passed it without screaming "liberal" is a sign that maybe you can't be objective.

MY sociology book says otherwise 😬

Really....do you rely on what other people say about Racism and Homophobia when it is all around you and clear as day ?

You know, I really should do something more with my name. Here I am, all poopie and whatnot, and yet I'm stuck with the same ol' running demon. Maybe I'll recolor him to brown and yellow. Then I'll change my location to "a rectum" or something.

You know every sociology book will say something different about racism and homophobia....right ? 😬

Hmmm... If your stool is yellow colored I'd go see a doctor, it could be something as benign as too much bile entering your lower intestines or it could be something severe like Hepatitis to Jaundice.

why are people who don't like gay people called homophobic?

a phobia is a fear........how is a dislike for something equated with being afraid of it? I don't like chicken liver, I'm not afraid of it. I don't like people who talk during movies, I'm not afraid of them.

some people don't like homosexuals because of their religious and/or moral beliefs or maybe because they just flat out don't approve of the acts they engage in (much like me not liking people who talk during movies)...........

I have no problem with gay people. Their all pretty nice for the most part. I was just wondering why the term "homophobic" is used at all....

IMO, or the term could be used to make people feel bad or wrong, kind of like Reverse Psychology, as in your afraid of gays if you don't like them, which makes many say, I'm not afraid of anyone, so they become friends with homosexuals to prove that they are not afraid. So now it will be easier for homosexuals to make straight friends by incorrectly using this term.

i have a question for gay people. why do gay people care that some straight people dont like being around them? I'm not talking about straight people who verbally abuse gay people, just people who rather not be around them?
