Couldn't you just take the exact thing you just said, replace the word gays with Christians and maybe begin to see where people like Mike Huckabee are coming from?
Before: "Gays should not be upset because in some places of the world they're murdered"
After: "Christians should not be upset because in some places of the world they're murdered"
You seriously don't think it could apply to both? If gays can decry their social situation here, why can't a Christian who feels like he's being demonized for his beliefs do the same?
One group in America is the overwhelming majority and always has been; has practically all of the institutions controlled by its members, always has, for a long period into the foreseeable future will; and has shaped the country's culture in a myriad number of fundamental ways.
The other group in America is a relatively tiny minority; has minimal acknowledged representation in most institutions; has been forced historically to hide itself for fear of financial loss, lack of acceptance or overt physical danger; and every time it tries to alter a cultural inequality from total bias to a mere lack thereof, is accused of waging a "cultural war", "radical agenda", and so forth.
On the surface, your analogy may seem equivalent. Sorry, but you're just confusing persecution with butt-hurt over not being the sole arbiter of literally 100% of political outcomes, cultural dynamics and public dialogues.
