Well I do agree that sexism is either exactly equally as bad as or almost as bad as racism, so yes, that qualifies.

No religious person should have to hide away their beliefs just because others are being bigoted. But, if their life was threatened, they could do that to save their lives. They could pretend to convert to another religion of some sort. They obviously shouldn't have to, but it's a possibility in a life-threatening emergency. That's not the case with race. If a black man is under attack from life-threatening bigotry there's absolutely nothing he can do to save himself in a similar way. Because race is a fixed thing there is an added threat when it is attacked by particularly obstinately dangerous and violent bigotry.

Last I heard the evidence on the matter is not entirely complete. Homosexuality may be mostly nature but also a bit of nurture. I can't remember the source. Maybe you have a more enlightened one anyway?
