Much as it pains me to admit it, because OJ is about as blatant a misogynist as you can get, but he was right to walk out here.
And yes, I have seen the whole interview, in answer to the pub bore who thinks that repeating the same question over and over makes them look incisive. I saw the bit where he had a few minutes to put his view across, while the others looked on as indulgently as if he was a clever child and then proceeded to speak over him and refuse to listen to anything he said.
This was a homophobic attack. That the perpetrator was a pretty much non-practising Muslim is fairly immaterial. It could just as easily have been a white "christian" gunman, most mass shootings last year in the US were perpetrated by non muslim men after all. However, of course, he would then have been a lone wolf, or mentally ill, or however else we make it ok for some men to kill a lot of other people.
There are more than two States that make life very difficult for LGB people, LBG is still not a protected characteristic in many states, which means that they can lose jobs, homes, financial support etc purely because of their sexuality. Not so different to the ME after all. And I say this as a US citizen, who loves the country, but is despairing at the way the politics are going.
