When you're a political leader or really have any public sway, getting up and saying things that aren't necessarily true or bigoted or anything like that can cause public opinion to change alot-- especially when it's represented as fact which is generally the case with speaking to the public. That's even more immoral than anything gays do, especially when it's based on things that aren't true. I really hope I don't have to explain more on that...
I don't really care either way, though.

Yes but he's had a lot of support from his coreligionists. In a letter to the Times signed by 22 representatives of various organisations, they state,
'We are deeply concerned about the breakdown of basic family values and the undermining of the key institution of marriage in Britain today. All Britons, whether they are in favour of homosexuality or not, should be allowed to freely express their views in an atmosphere free of intimidation or bullying. We cannot claim to be a truly free and open society while we are trying to silence dissenting views.'
I agree with that.
