What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

Homophobia is clearly a harmful mental sickness. What can LGBT people do to cure it?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
