>every single islamic country on earth will behead you if they knew you were LGBT,
that's not true. I don't actually think that shows that homophobia is intrinsic to Islam, now and in future, anyway, but it's not even correct. Turkey and Indonesia. Also the entire Ottoman Empire had legal, open homosexuality like a century+ before Christian countries did. Also Christian countries all over the world criminalize homosexuality.
The common thread between most of those Christian countries and the Muslim ones that are more homophobic and conservative is resources. They have oil, they have minerals, they have natural resources, and as a result they have destabilized politically, either through colonialism or through intentional regime change.
Religious zealots, corrupt monarchs, tyrants, juntas, as easier to manipulate, bribe into violence, or make deals with, and less sympathetic on the world stage. They sometimes rise to power in the aftermath of societies ceasing to function or all the popular, secular leaders have been shot. Then the richer parts of the world gladly allow that to continue and their governments and arms dealers and corporations extract their resources and sell or funnel them more weapons.
This would, and does, happen with Christian countries as well. They're in Africa, because that's where missionaries were. Africa and the Middle East just have the most natural resources, which is why they've been fucked with so much.
