Obama has plenty of patience for punishment of gays under Islamic sharia law which in many countries such as powerful Saudi Arabia (#49) can include imprisonment and death by stoning. When did Obama suggest a world boycott of Saudi Arabian products or those of other sharia countries? The Muslim Brotherhood's Quradawi said being gay requires the death penalty.

"Russia is not mutilating and executing gays the way Muslim regimes do under the sharia. And Obama supports most vicious anti-gay regimes in the world. The gay community should be disgusted by such political exploitation. The Muslim Brotherhood's genocidal position on homosexuality is quite clear. Where is Obama's condemnation?"....

8/9/13, "76 Countries Where Anti-Gay Laws Are As Bad As Or Worse Than Russia’s," BuzzFeed, S. Jones
As President Obama said recently, “What’s happening in Russia is not unique.”
#49. "Saudi Arabia, Banishment, whipping, and death by public stoning."
"According to the 2013 ILGA report, “There is no codifed Penal Law in Saudi-Arabia. Instead, the country applies strict Islamic Sharia law. According to the interpretation sodomy is criminalized. For a married man the penalty is death by stoning, while the penalty for an unmarried man is 100 blows of the whip as well as banishment for a year. For a non-Muslim, who commits sodomy with a Muslim, the penalty is death by stoning. Moreover are all sexual relations outside of marriage illegal in Saudi-Arabia according to the Sharia law, including sexual relations between women.”"...
#9. "Brunei, Fine and imprisonment of up to 10 years"
"“Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman, or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall also be liable to fine,” according to Chapter 22 of Brunei’s penal code, last revised in 2001."
In Nov. 2012 Obama gave $6 billion US taxpayer dollars to the Sultan of Brunei and the Pres. of Indonesia. Brunei is a Muslim Sultanate. If Obama cared about gays, why not reduce the gift to $1 billion?
