Racism, sexism and homophobia are all equally bad in that they're all forms of irrational prejudice based on aspects of an individual which he or she has no control over and which probably have little bearing on that person's nature in other areas. Sexism has probably tended to result in the least extreme forms of discrimination historically, probably because men needed women to shag and to cook for them, but I wouldn't want to trivialise the subjugation of women.
I find it interesting that you put racism ahead of sexism, and sexism ahead of homophobia. Not surprising, but interesting. Clearly, bigotry is still alive and well.
