Generally lesbians/gay/bi women aren't targets.

In Russia? Yes they are. (the study seems to be more anecdotal since statistics on homosexuality are hard to come by in russia, but i think it paints a picture of what all lgbt russians face.)

I don't know which gender is necessarily the greater percentage of the violence, but it's certainly an understatement to say that homophobia - especially in russia - spares women in any way. Take OP's example: if the victim had been male but not gay, he probably would never have been a target. on the other hand, gay women have plenty to fear in regard to hate crimes/violence.

I'm glad that the MRM (generally) advocates for the rights of gay men, and I certainly see the relevance/importance of this article being posted on this sub. However, I don't agree that this issue is unique to men, or that is disproportionately affects men.

This should only be here if these things happened to him because he was a man.

They did. To quote:

Infamous Russian ultranationalist and former skin head, Maxim Martsinkevich, known under the nickname "Cleaver" (or "Tesak" in Russian) spearheaded a country wide campaign against LGBT teens using a popular social network VK.com to lure unsuspected victims through personal ads. Mr. Martsinkevich's numerous and enthusiastic followers started two projects: "Occupy Pedophilyaj" and "Occupy Gerontilyaj". Allegedly they are trying to identify and report pedophiles using these "movements". In reality, over 500 online groups have been created inside VK.com social network in order to organize illegal militant groups in every Russian city. Oddly enough their idea of fighting pedophiles targets exclusively male teenagers who respond to the same-sex personal ads and show up for a date.

Emphasis added. Homophobia is a problem for people of both sexes, but this sort of brutality is directed mostly at men and boys. It is very much relevant to men's rights.
