Because if you did, you’d learn that Muslims are normal people. Some are assholes, some are not. Some are straight and homophobic, other are proudly queer. You could argue that Islam is bad because it encourages homophobia, that’s an acceptable opinion. But saying that all Muslims are homophobic is bigoted and just plain wrong. The difference between legitimate criticism and hate is not hard to understand…
If someone disagrees with Islam, that person is by definition not a Muslim. You’re basically trying to have your cake and eat it too, saying that people who ascribe to an ideology don’t actually believe in the ideology they adopted. Unfortunately that’s not how it works in the real world. If they don’t ascribe to the ideology, then they don’t ascribe to the ideology, and that’s fine, but that doesn’t change the nature of the ideology itself.
