Every type crime that exists, occurs in America.
That doesn't mean Americans, as a cultural norm, hunt and execute gays.
You found criminals who the public rejects. You did not prove that the general American populace seeks gays out for persecution. You found exceptions, and exceptions only prove rules. You proved my argument for me.
It's not exceptional if it happens daily. And there are places where it happens far less. And here in America, Muslims do it far less as well. Chrisitianity-motivated killings of gays are far more common still in Africa. How many times do we have to go 'round with this?
Basically what this shows is that the more theocratic a society, the more often they kill the marginalized people in their theocracy. What religion it worships doesn't seem to matter much.
