Discrimination against homosexuals

Discrimination against homosexuals, which is called as homophobia, is a serious problem since this biased attitude towards people of different sexual orientations causes such people to be deprived of basic rights such as access to education, employment opportunities. (This problem can be solved through implementation of two possible solutions.) The problem of discrimination against homosexuals can be overcome through application of two possible solutions. Firstly, a provision which regards discrimination against people of different sexual orientation as a crime should be added(drafted) to the constitution. Such an amendment would encourage discriminated individuals to fight for their rights. As a result of this, biased institutions and individuals could be forced to revise their opinions and behaviours regarding sexual minorities. Consequently, discrimination offences will be diminished. However, one weakness concerning this solutions is that an amendment in the constitution may not be enough(sufficient-adequate) to change established prejudices. For that reason, it is vital that this solution be reinforced by other implementations. Secondly, it is essential anti-discrimination courses be designed to be embedded in the cirriculum by the ministry of education. If the ministry apply this solution, pupils will be exposed to egalitarian(unbiased) ideas from an early age onwards. Thus, new generation will become more open-minded and tolerant towards differences. As a result, discriminatory practices and attitudes will gradually be eroded. Nonetheless, it would take time for the new generation to become adults, which means that this solution does not provide a practical and immediate remedy to the problem. Despite the fact that it does not produce immediate results, this solution might change the mindset of the society radically in a positive way. To conclude, despite the weaknesses (drawbacks) each solution has, if they are implemented together, a long-term and effective result could be achieved.

To sum up, homophobia can be overcome through changes in laws and the mentality of society.
