Maybe I'm missing it, but does he actually state any views on homosexuality in this? Other than the implied views from having voted for Sanders and stating that he's 'struggled' and 'shifted' on the subject (shifted to what?). It's a non-answer and I don't understand the praise in that thread for it. "Why can't we just TALK about it?" he says, in a thread where he could very well just talk about it. "God loves his children" makes no distinctions between saints, murderers, and homosexuals, yet we know God disapproves of murder, right? So it's a non-statement with regards to homosexuality.

His two links are 404s but the Internet Archive versions of those don't seem to contain answers either (they don't mention the topic as far as I can tell).

I read it, too, and it appears that he is trying to walk the line between “the church is Truth” and “I don’t want gay people hurt” and since those are wholly incompatible, this is the best we’ll get.

Personally, I find actions far more compelling than words: I could share a pleasant meal with a man who called himself a Nazi but acted in all manners (including voting) like a good person.

I understand some people want verbal repudiation of certain views and verbal affirmation of certain views, though.
