Well done for spectacularly missing the point, borne out of a desire to virtue signal.
Yes, it's entirely relevant. The point was that while the article in the OP is a nice example to the contrary, evidence shows that homophobia is clearly inherent in Islam, it's directly in the religious doctrine of the faith, and thus is common among Muslims. The countries that are the least devoutly religious and more secular are less homophobic, and that's not a coincidence.
Of course there are other cultures and nations which have homophobia problems, some for different reasons, some similar, but they only serve as a red herring in this case as they're not relevant to the topic at hand. They only serve as a whataboutism for people like you who are uncomfortable with this specific topic.
Re a comparison for non-Muslim British opinions on homosexuality, as a control, from the same ICM survey:
52% of British Muslims believe homosexuality should be illegal, the figure is 5% for the rest of the general population (which includes other religious groups and the non religious of course).

That's quite a large discrepancy which suggests a problem. Now you might want to cite whataboutisms, or cite a problem B to enable the overlooking of this problem A, but it doesn't wash for the rest of us.
Now homophobia also exists in other faiths, including Christianity for example. However, its quite clear that faith with the biggest issue with homophobia is Islam, anyone who suggests that they represent comparable problems is disingenuous at best.
Here's what an Imam from Orlando had to say about homosexuality in the same city where America's worst mass shooting eventually took place a few years later:
