I got this idea after reading another thread. I know this won't prove anything as this is relatively a small community, but I was just curious

Hmm. In the U.S., I'd say both are fairly widespread, but overt racism is frowned upon in a way that overt homophobia isn't.

e.g., on the thread, there were a number of people posting a variation on "I don't hate them, but they flaunt it/why should they have rights/lesbians are cool but men holding hands grosses me out", and I can't see anyone saying "I don't hate blacks, I just don't think they should be allowed to go to school with my kids/find their hair really gross/whatever" without getting (rightly) shouted down.

I have never been to the US so I have somewhat of a limited perspective... but tell me, are homosexuals likely to become victims of profiling in the same way that blacks are likely to be victims of racial profiling by police?

As pointed out in that opinion piece on the other thread - gays are routinely denied rights everyone else (regardless of race) enjoys under the bill of rights.

Certainly I would say that gays experience institutional discrimination. Simple example - there is no immigration option for gay marriage.

I voted equally widespread.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I don't think you can define prevalence of hate by how easily its targets can hide themselves from it.
