LGTBQ communities and the Islamic world?

Question

Does the LGTBQ community take offense that in most islamic countries homosexual activity is considered a crime, and in some cases, punishable by death?  Why is there no direct confrontation of this religion that propagates hate against their lifestyle by the LGTBQ community?

The homosexual community tries to cast itself in a similar light to the civil rights struggle taken on by African Americans in the 50s and 60s.  It was successful.  During the 1970's and 1980's American Blacks began to confront South Africa for maintaining a similar form of segregation to which had existed in the us.

Why doesn't the gay community do something similar for people with similar sexual tendencies to their own who reside in the Islamic world?  Why don't they go picket outside of Saudi funded mosques right here in the United States, to demand gay lifestyles be tolerated in the cradle of Islam?  Why don't they protest outside of embassies of Islamic countries who kill people for being gay?  Why doesn't the gay community stand up to this bully?  Are they afraid?

Two words that explains the difference between American citizens and Islamic countries' citizens: suicide bombers. Over there, they will torture you like helll if you don't comply. Unlike South Africa and America, their government is controlled by religion. Unless they change the rules of their religion (they won't) and as they said in multiple occasions that homosexuality is wrong (to them), nothing will change. So many people will die for nothing. The only thing I can advise that we do is try to find a way for them to escape to a better place. Sorry.
