So in what made-up version of reality do you think people don't care about what's happening in the Middle East? What are they supposed to do about it? Other be full of irrational anger and false outrage and spout Fox talking points, that is.

Or maybe because (to generalize as you are) the LGBT community is sane enough to not be frightened of what is happening in a third-world country on the opposite side of the globe.

I don't live in the Middle East, and the laws of the country I live in are not applicable in the Middle East. Is it horrible that these things happen there? Yes. But don't pretend like it is a pressing security issue for the US.

Right they are not throwing gays off of tall buildings in the US
but they are throwing them off tall buildings in the ME
and killing them in the Middle East
Where is the LGBT outrage? I have not seen any.
It is not a security issue
it is a blatant hypocritical issue
ignore it in the ME, and go overboard in screaming about little things like cakes in the US.
You'd think the LGBT community would be up in arms about routine killing of gays in the ME, but not a peep, because it is politically incorrect to criticize the ME "customs"
Since when do conservatives care about homosexuals anyway?
You are generalizing, just because I am conservative, doesn't mean I am against homosexuals. Quite the opposite, my philosophy is what one does in the bedroom is not my business. I am strongly opposed to anyone, in any country, killing people who are harming no one with what they do in private with a consenting adult.
Why don't feminists care about women in other countries? That's hypocritical.
Why doesn't the LBGT community care about homosexuals in other countries? That's hypocritical.
When feminism and LGBT ignore and by ignoring condone this behavior by saying
"it doesn't affect gays in this country"
it is a cultural choice for "them", well
then when it happens in western countries
in "no go" zones, which do exist in Europe
where non-Muslims dare not enter
because Shariah is the law of the zone
will they again say it is "cultural"
and ignore it due to political correctness?

Jews have their own courts and have been operating them here for ages.

You could have made an effort to read the article.
Imagine having to go through the trauma of an acrimonious divorce knowing all the way through the process that the community you live in will still consider you to be married.
When Miriam decided her marriage to her husband was no longer working she soon discovered that getting a divorce in Britain's law courts would be the least of her worries.
As a devout Orthodox Jew from a close-knit community in north London, the only way she would really be free to get on with her life would be if her husband granted her a get – a Jewish divorce document authenticated by a rabbi and given by a husband to his wife releasing her from their marriage.
Within Halakha (Jewish law) only the husband has the power to grant a get and if he refuses his wife becomes an agunah, or chained wife. Trapped in a marriage they cannot get out of, an agunah is often shunned by her community, which forbids her from remarrying and reminds her that any further children she has with anyone other than her husband would be considered illegitimate.

It's utterly amazing to see how many people have so little faith in their country, their constitution, and their own ability and power to discern and stand up against either a real or imaginary threat.

It must just be the worst thing, going around every day completely terrified of billions of normal people who call their god by a different name.

It must just be the worst thing, going around every day completely terrified of dozens of millions of normal people who choose to carry a weapon to defend themselves, thinking they are going to murder you and your family, simply because they are in possession of a handgun.

Ah, interesting. First, thanks for admitting you're terrified. That's the first step to getting over your fears.

We are terrified by people who:
think it is acceptable to kill people who don't worship the same God they do
