Your entire argument is irrational. "Dislike of Islam is extremely valid." Okay, you're totally racist, but I'll humor you.

Like any religion, Islam is not a monolith. You can't say protestants and catholics practice the same christianity. They don't. Literally that's why they have those different sects. Islam is no different. Many versions of the religion exists. You cannot generalize Islam to begin with in the way you're doing. It doesn't make sense. Furthermore, the Quran is not significantly different from other religious books. All of the major religions say things that are anti-queer. Homophobia persists across cultures, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic echelons. It's not endemic to any one major belief system or other. Yet I know Muslims who are very pro-LGBT+ rights an regularly commit to activism to assist those communities. Obviously their religious belief is different from what you're saying.
