In India both Hindu and Sikh community's have avid followers who've done homophobic attacks, they don't get as much attention because of all the other violence they do such as against women
I've had many long conversations with a gay Indian friend, his experiences really don't match the rose tinted version of things you're portraying.
And of course we don't even need to go into the treatment of women everywhere but the middle class portions of the nose progressive cities, everyone is very well aware of the problems.
Homophobia is not a religion-only issue. There are many LGBT hate crimes happening all over the world and all the time. The world in its entirity has failed LGBT, and to single out Muslims or Christians is to ignore those issues happening in other places.
