AnswerYes. Muslims kill gay people (according to the law) in: Sudan, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, and Maldives. There are also routine honor killings in several other Muslim countries. AnswerPer the Quran and the prophet Muhammad teachings, it is not permitted to kill homosexuals although their sexual relationship is forbidden. However quite a few Islamic countries do not believe this. The Quran says chapter 4, verse 16:

If two (two men or two women) among you are guilty of such acts then punish both of them. But if they repent and reform, let them be, for God accepts repentance and is merciful.

AnswerNot all Muslims kill gay people, in fact, most do not. However, the killing of gays occurs quite routinely in Islamic Countries and is increasing in areas outside of the Islamic World in places where Muslims are becoming the majority population (Little Pakistans et al.). There is a similar correlation between Christians who kill gays when those Christians come from religious areas of Africa, such as Uganda or Cameroon. This is more of a cultural thing that is inspired by religion than a purely religious matter.

Unfortunately in many of these communities (in Africa, Asia, and Western States), only the allegation of homosexual conduct is enough to justify violence and possible murder/execution. Nobody has to actually document the act taking place or provide evidence of a sexual encounter. In Uganda, for example, a Christian majority country, the newspapers usually have a column that "outs" people who are suspected of being gay. In Muslim-majority countries, it is usually by word of mouth that someone is identified.

See the University of Denver Paper: Dying for Love: Homosexuality in the Middle East in the Related Links below (along with the UN Reports on violence towards LGBT which discuss this quite in depth). In the Islamic context, government actively assists or does nothing to prevent violence towards homosexuals.

Do Muslim men practice gay lifestyles?

First of all, there is no such thing as a "gay lifestyle." This is a derogatory term for a gay person's life. Second, gay Muslims must be secretive, because it's a violation of Islam. But yes, there are gay Muslims, and some of them are sexually active. However, it is a very small minority because of this requirement to be secretive, as a result, most Muslim men practice a fake heteronormative lifestyle. In North America, however, there is a growing movement of Liberal Muslims, who practice progressive Islam, which fully embraces and accepts women and gay people as equals.
