  Polygamy and Prostitution

  But, while in some cases the things you are describing are tragic, there are cases where women most willingly engage in both polygamy and prostitution. I think you are painting with a very broad brush, and from what I've seen on this site, that is the norm.

  Is Homophobia More Prevalent than Racism?

  Let me start by saying I am a conservative, Christian, heterosexual man.
  
  I think the problems that exist with both racism and sexuality bias are not purely the result of hatred coming at the target, but moreso, in the identification with one dimension of a person's character.
  
  I believe in equal rights and equal responsibility. Every man and woman regardless of color or sexual preference should enjoy the right to the pursuit of happiness, the right to own property and pass that property to significant others of their choosing, the right to tax credits/exemptions, etc.
  
  The biggest attractor to bigotry though is in the defining of one's character with a single dimension of who you are.
  
  We don't see White Entertainment Network, Heterosexual Today or any other programming of that sort.
  
  My message is simple. Quit labeling yourself from one dimension and watch a huge amount of the problem disappear. You are not a gay man or a gay woman, a black man or a black woman, a white man or a white woman. You are a human being with an abundance of traits that make you unique.
  
  I've had close friends across all of the "minority" traits over the years, because I simply don't distinguish a person on their race or sexual preference, or religion for that matter.
  
  Every "gay" friend I've had, has had a unique personality with different passions, interests, beliefs and talents that I've liked/loved them for. I have never liked or disliked someone because they were gay or straight or bi.
  
  Sexual preference is only an issue when you want to sleep with someone.
  
  The key to ending bias is to quit distinguishing the differences and by focusing on the likenesses.
  
  We are all born into this world hopefully to contribute something that adds value to it that didn't exist before we did. Life is just too short to wage wars over such simple things.
  
  To quote my God, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Jesus didn't say love thy gay, straight, bi, white, black, jew, arab, rich, poor or any other particular neighbor. He simply said "Love thy neighbor..."
  
  May everyone who reads this be blessed, find happiness, and live a long and fruitful life.
