It would be incorrect to equate them on these terms.
The simple fact is that the Bible is rife with passages extolling the murder of pretty much anyone you want to kill. Since the Bible is alleged to be infallible and inspired by God himself, and even more importantly, because it does advocate all kinds of horrible violence on arbitrary pretexts, the ideology of the Bible is most certainly culpable in any crime it implies to be morally acceptable.
On the other side of the coin, there isn't any equivalent to the Bible for LGBT ideology. If there was, there'd be no way it would be treated as infallible, and it goes without saying that it would advocate any of homicidal mania Yahweh seemed to really be into.
Whatever motivated this guy to violence, I'm pretty sure it was not him interpreting LGBT scripture and carrying it out. Do you think the same could be said for the guy who wanted to kill ragheads so much he didn't care which ones he went after?
