While I don't agree on his stance on homosexuals, his description of what is out there was pretty accurate. If that wasn't an accurate description, I don't know what is an accurate description. The man also has a right to voice his opinion when asked a direct question. I think he is being unfairly persecuted.

The gay lifestyle isn't for me, but I have friends and family who are gay. It just weird's me out, yuck. That said, I still love my family and friends who are gay.

The "christian" lifestyle also isn't for me, but I have friends and family who are christians. Again, I still love them.

I don't think anyone was surprised by his answer. I wasn't. He has wanted out of the show and has been quoted as such in a number of articles and reports. Maybe this was his plan all along.
