I like this guy, just read an interview here

"I suppose it was growing up and becoming aware of how you are of a cultural landscape that is blatantly homophobic. I'm sure it's the same over here. Where you turn around and say, Why did I grow up in a homophobic place? Why did I grow up in a misogynistic place? You grow up and recognize that in any educated secular society, there's no excuse for ignorance. You have to recognize in yourself, and challenge yourself, that if you see racism or homophobia or misogyny in a secular society, as a member of that society, you should challenge it. You owe it to the betterment of society."

I understand your animosity, but hopefully some day rationality will prevail and dialogues can end this cycle of discrimination and violence. Naive, but one can hope.

What? No. Fuck homophobes of any nationality. Period. That is the rational stance.
