I think because it has nothing to do with him being "gay". They had no way of knowing that he was gay because he was 4 yrs old. Statistically he was probably not.
They killed him for having feminine mannerisms which some straight men certainly have. Enforcement of rigid gender roles on men is a men's issue.
This is not to say it isnt also an LGBT issue. The attack was made out of homophobia, but issues can overlap multiple groups. I think strict enforcement of male gender roles is one that affects all men so it's a men's rights issue, but disproportionately affects gay men so it's also a gay issue.
Is it not a men's issue that if a man acts a certain way he could be killed for "looking gay"?
