I'd guess that its more related to its religious roots - I know (nearly) no country where religion seems to be so important (and quite often, taken so literally).
At least (nearly) all "against homosexuality" (or whatever else) statements I have seen/heard in the US where related to religious reasons.

Regarding culture: Do we want to discuss what each nation has done and why one selves nation is the greatest of all? I've heard statements, that this thread is nice because it is NOT judging or valueing - do you think that this would continue if we start comparing cultural benefits or shortcomings?
