I rarely use Wikipedia as a source, but this boils it down so well. Europeans & Asian countries have practiced homosexuality for centuries, we (Africans & Middle Easterners) do not practice this, nor do we encourage our children to go out and seek an LGBT life so there is no closets they need to come out of.
You may not know about them, and they won't tell you, but they exist. I lived with a Saudi for a while in college who was bi-sexual. He couldn't tell anyone anytime he was there, but when he was allowed to be open about it some people were allowed to know.
Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It only means that people suffer. They're still gay, but they'll participate in society as straight because they have to.
Comes from a culture that condemns gay people to death.
"I've never seen a gay person where I'm from. It most certainly has to do with the masculine way my culture raises our kids, and not the stoning to death part."

Ohh, so gay people hide their homosexuality when same sex relationships are shunned by their friends and family? What a shocker.
