I work for an LGBT rights news site and Uganda is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be LGBT, I edited a video piece about one Bishop there who's been fighting for LGBT rights for over 20 years at great personal cost. Christopher Senyonjo is an amazing man.

ELI5: Why are U.S. officials/Obama more outspoken about LGBT rights in places like Russia and Uganda, but relatively quiet about mistreatment of gays in the Middle East?

I've been watching the news lately, and have heard talk of the U.S. denying aid to places like Uganda in response to the new bill that was recently signed making gay relationships punishable by law. In regards to Russia, Obama has stated his disapproval of what is happening with their "gay propaganda" law. On the hand, it is very well known that lgbt individuals in places like Iran or Saudi Arabia are mistreated but I don't see as much of a response on the U.S.'s part. A friend and I have been wondering/arguing, why the difference?
