Surely chandra's original reaction was not so offensive that it didn't even deserve the two minutes of your time it would've taken to properly explain yourself, or to admit that your statement about Asia "tending to" take the homophobic position was not intended to slight or overlook India and the other countries that didn't. Hell, doing that would even have taken less of your time than this silly back-and-forth.

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.
