You will find homophobics worldwide; not only in the US. Many religions, christian and non-christian, think being a homosexual is a crime against god and nature. As for the death penalty, the only ones I know of who believe that is what a homosexual deserves for their crime are in the middle east.

Re: are southerners really backward??
I live in a tiny little Tin Pot town in Mississippi, not too far from where Edgar Ray Killen lived.
I see no more bigotry or racism here than I did in Newcastle back in England when I lived there.
They may not be as fancy and highfalutin as them there city folk, but they are a hell of a lot friendlier and welcoming.
True, they are strongly religious, but that also develops a strong sense of community in the area, and at least in my area the local churches do a heck of a lot to help out charities and the local schools, the majority white and the majority black ones.

You'd better not come down here, we shoot on sight people who write poorly worded and irrelevant questions on internet forums.
