Nobody i know agrees on homosexual people being of less value than others.

My wife is a developer from a eastern european country. She is very intelligent and i learn as much from her as she from me.

A colleague of mine is from france. His wife is from russia.

Another friend of mine earns (way!) less than his wife.

I could go on. Nobody thinks females are of less value in my circle of friends and acquaintances. Same for homosexuals.

I don't get this attitude of "you're opposed to sharia -> you're opposed to islams -> you're basically a nazi -> you oppose female rights" etc. This is factually not right and it is hard to defend against.

I don't support people oppressing other people based on their religion, sexual orientation. Still i hate people being killed based on their sexual orientation. This does not sound as a contradiction to me.

I was more talking about conservative Christians, evangelicals and right-wingers. You and your circle of friends are not necessarily representative of the mainstream. I've seen more than enough of both play out in popular culture and the media that I refuse to believe such views are not normalized throughout the Western world.
