As I have said before, opposition to gay marriage does not equal homophobia. Gay rights got its start in the USA, and it is still the country with probably the strongest overall gay community.
Furthermore, if you attack a gay person, threaten them, or harm them, the full power of the state will be used to bring you to justice. If you attack a nightclub, and kill dozens of gay people, armed state agents will put themselves in harm's way just to put a bullet in your head.
There is no moral equivalence between Muslim quasi-theocratic regimes and the United States of America.
