Uighurs hardly represent the world dumbass. They are a small oppressed minority in western China. Faggots have been killed in many cultures for ever. Where do you think the word "faggot" came from? Gay people are murdered all of the time in middle east, and balkan countries. mainly muslim countries because fundamental muslims are not much different than ignorant Christian rednecks. Speaking of Christian countries gays are beatup and persecuted in Russia and other orthodox countries. I'm sure gay people are treated wonderfully in China, except for I have never heard of a gay Chinese person in China.
edit - The explanation that male homosexuals were called faggots because they were burned at the stake as punishment is an etymological urban legend. Burning sometimes was a punishment meted out to homosexuals in Christian Europe (on the suggestion of the Biblical fate of Sodom and Gomorrah), but in England, where parliament had made homosexuality a capital offense in 1533, hanging was the method prescribed. sounds lovely.
