I'm surprised at the lack of interest. For example, where are the people who denounce Putin because they are just aghast at the comparatively insignificant Russian restrictions on homosexuality?

I think that is because most people assumed that Russia was at least somewhat of a modern society while assuming that most people in Saudi Arabia were like Dilkington. There was a point in history where Russia was not as homophobic as it is today, and the current homophobia stretches far beyond simply the law that was passed in the Duma. Russia has taken a strikingly homophobic turn in the past few years whereas Saudi Arabia is the same as it has been for a while.
