If he had enthusiastically and unreservedly supported gay rights, despite any personal belief, I'd agree. Instead, we had embarrassment.

Don't care if he's embarrassed. Care if his policies support them. I'd find it hard to be enthusiastic about Xtianity

Words matter too. As a leader, his word should be exemplary. Pondering on whether gay sex is a sin is not on for a LibDem.

He didn't want to discuss the issue at all. Kept telling ppl to focus on his politics not his beliefs.

Of course he didn't want to. He knew he'd embarrass the party.

Well, it does, bringing your personal beliefs into politics. Much the same when American politicians have to pretend to be Xtian

Nobody is asking him to pretend to be an atheist. We're just asking to unreservedly support gay rights and respect.

Well, that's illiberal. We can only demand he commit to supporting liberal values, not that he also change his personal beliefs

How is calling gay people sinners supporting liberal values?

Its not! If he did that, I'd support canning him. He might well believe it but accept its an illiberal thing to say.
