It's quite a stretch to go from banning LGBT searches to death penalties for those same people. The west bans information all the time that it deems dangerous, our value system is just different.

I would argue our value system is vastly superior, but I would never demand someone take my values as their own.

Fair enough. Would note that the death penalty, alongside torture and chemical castration, are sanctioned punishments for being gay in the UAE [1].
