That's very naive of you.

Not really, ridiculed, yes admittedly and unfortunately, even physical attacks are not entirely un-common, but persecuted the homosexual community is not. The connotations associated with persecution are generally on a massive scale such as the Holocaust, Pol Pot's killing fields or the burning of Christians under Nero. However, it is recognised that in the Middle East and some African communities, being gay is a sin, and a crime. So I'm not saying that gays are not persecuted world wide. Just not in the West, or certainly, anywhere I have ever been.
