Some media prefers to ignore this and instead focus only on Muslims. That's not the same as defending Muslim extremists.

The sex lives of consenting adults is none of my business. The term " adult" varies throughout the world and has evolved over time.
No, I am no fan of corporate media, but

It’s amazing to think someone could equate being gay with committing treason or first-degree murder.
It’s also interesting that countries we think of as having horrible official policies towards LGBT people like Russia seem if not evolved then at least humane compared with this terrible list. Though in Russia, as with many places, it’s not the government you have to be most afraid of, it’s the gang of armed neanderthals.

Are you talking about black people who are Democrats or Democratic governance of black people ??????

There is a difference.

The black community is extremely homophobic, and there is no defending that. It mostly comes from religion, not ideology.

Many seem easily able to distinguish between mainstream and non mainstream Christianity but choose not to do so as it relates to Islam.
This, of course, is the issue in a nutshell. I do not label ALL Christians as gay haters. I couldn't possibly do so because I personally know many Christians who are also liberal Democrats. I am able to tell the difference between them and the fundamentalists. But Muslim-bashers are unable to make any such distinction. To them, ALL Muslims=BAD!!

Ah, what did that bleeding heart, love one another, liberal hippie know? The REAL Jesus would be walking around with an automatic weapon today, ready to blow away anyone who disagreed with him.

Nobody thinks ALL Muslims are bad

But "you just think ALL Muslims are bad" is certainly the conversation ends all conversations.

And not just Blacks, but another Democrat constituency; Muslims.

Some of the most rabid homophobes are Democrats.

I do not deny that there are homophobic people who vote for Democrats. I do however deny that they are the majority in our party or even the majority of homophones.

I live in the deep South, there are a lot of openly homophobic Republicans here.

A Muslim may be the Good Samaritan.

Look at al-Sisi in Egpyt. He protects Christians. Assad protects Christians in Syria and he's Muslim.

I didn't watch the video because I don't want to see that kind of violence now. Humans like to act like Chimpanzees. Americans would lynch pedophilies if the police let them. There will always be someone humans want to lynch. I kind of want to lynch US politicians.

Even the ones who are radical extremists carry some anti-gay bias and attitudes. Hillary Clinton wants to bring the equivalent of 100,000 anti-gay mormons or southern baptists over to our shores to discriminate against their future gay neighbors. This is wrong. Hillary Clinton wants to sell gays down the river. Trump is worse though.

It has nothing to do with being Democrats.

Overwhelming Majority of Those Muslim countries know nothing about democracy. Hence the problem.

the separation of church and state is hardly the first unwritten concept that is protected by the constitution. In the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court established a women’s constitutional right to have an abortion despite the word abortion never appearing in the constitution. In the 2015 case of Obergefell v. Hodges the Supreme Court established that laws against same sex marriage were unconstitutional despite the word marriage never appearing in the constitution. In the 1963 case of Gideon v. Wainwright the Supreme Court established that the constitution guarantees the right to an attorney despite the words public defender never appearing in the constitution. In the 2010 case of McDonald v. Chicago the Supreme Court established that the second amendment right to bear arms included the right to bear arms for self-defense despite the words self-defense never appearing in the constitution.

---------------------------------------------------------

Jordan was under the Ottoman Empire, where homosexuality was decriminalized 75 years earlier, but between 1922 and 1945 the country was a subject mandated by the League of Nations. However, in 1951 the new nation made homosexuality legal.

Indonesia is another example.

The above two countries, like the entire world, have varies challenges for LGBT people. However, because the law is on their side, living in these countries create an atmosphere where one can imagine a fight, a possibility of freedom, and the dream that one day being gay is not any different from being straight.

It is not Donkeys vs Elephant issues, It is the Separation of church and state issue. Sadly, There are ONLY 5 Muslim Nations Where Gay is Legal

No government should have laws to tell people what to do in their bedrooms.
