WTF?

I don't think some are understanding this thread. This isn't about LGBT people at all, we are only the fodder. This is about Islamophobia, as it is likely he is referring to Muslims as "oppressing gays". The problem is he doesn't see anti-gay laws as 'oppressing gays', something he has in common with far too many people, even on this side of the fence.

Oppressing gays doesn't begin and end with the death penalty and imprisonment.
