Homophobes ruin the world

Not that I disagree with Peekaboo, all of those things ARE ruining the world. But, homophobia could be the start of something huge that could possibly ruin the world. Like Hitler with the Jewish people. All he had to do was convince a few people that the Jews caused everything. What happens when a new homophobic Hitler decides the LGBT's are the cause of everything?

That is true. I think the chances of a new Hitler rising to power are pretty slim, because since WWII we have become so much more aware of the danger of allowing democracy and human rights to be eroded. Even minor (relatively speaking) human rights abuses by Western powers draw frenzied criticism. But then, I don't suppose many people in the early 20th century had predicted Hitler's rise and actions.

A regional Hitler oppressing a particular nation I can easily imagine though - in fact you can argue it's happening right now, in regards to women's rights and gay rights in some Middle Eastern countries.

Yes. Though, we'll never know will we? There's always the chance a very charismatic person could convince an idiotic government official that homophobia, womens rights, or anything else is potentially threatening a so-called "perfect" society.

I do believe that we should try to stop that before it can get very far, but of course, the United States does not ike to interfere untill too late.

Side: yes

Their bigotry and hatred does ruin the world. They are despicable.

Am I against homophobia? Definitely.

Do I think homophobes are ruining the world? That's probably an exaggeration. While the power of hatred must not be underestimated, there are far worse forces in the world - poverty, violent crime, environmental issues, etc.

Side: No

i agree, while homaphobia is not a good thing it is not single handedly ruining the world, there are worse things in the world, however, this does not makit it a good thing

No, homophobes don't hate gays, they are scared of them plus such a small group of people cannot ruin the entire world when they cant convert people.

Side: No
