We can't even get even the mildest immigration bill passed because the Republican party has decided to obey their xenophobic base, and you want something connected to gay rights, while several Republican states are suing the government to stop gay marriage? (That xenophobic base is getting steadily smaller all the time, as the US's minority population expands, but they're still key now, so the Republican party won't even consider breaking with the racists.)
But yeah, it's a good idea. It'd be great to do that eventually -- because gay marriage is coming soon in the US, but as you say, it'll be a long time before gay rights move forward in places like sub-Saharan Africa, the Islamic world, or Russia. Trying some things to encourage them to move forward will be important in the future, yeah.
