You are definitely right; this isn't Saudi Arabia- i have not seen one person on Rooshvforum who advocates administrative punishment. Along that line, it scares me that you are so fast to equate Americans to Saudi Arabians. We haven't had a stoning in years.
Yet people are still killed for being gay in the west.

You are perfectly defining the issue i have with homosexuality and public interest. You cite three examples. The murder rate in the USA is around 4.8 people per 100,000. (http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-r...-and-state)
We are not even approaching statistical significance.
There are other, more widespread issues that need solutions which might save a hell of a lot more lives. I agree that the public should care about solving the issues that lead to murders. But there are a lot more places i would start first to ensure we save as many lives as we can.
TL;DR - Gay people have social issues, but so does everyone else.
Yeah, I'm not sure what listing 3 gay murders over the last 15 years was supposed to prove, unless it was to show that such murders are rare to the point of complete insignificance.
