If he had enthusiastically and unreservedly supported gay rights, despite any personal belief, I'd agree. Instead, we had embarrassment.
But do you hear me saying he has no intention of saying that? That he tried very hard not to say that?

Problem seems to be that he *thought* that inside his own head where it harms no-one but ppl felt they had right to force him
-
to say what Christianity says about it. He probably also thinks sex before marriage & pride is a sin.

Yes. I'm not saying he's a bad guy and perhaps it was unfortunate (although entirely predictable) that he be put in that situation.

But once his views became public, I just don't see how he could represent the LibDems.

This is when we oppose the concept of thought crime & remind ppl liberalism is abt not forcing views on others.

Nobody is forcing views on Tim Farron. Having a problem with gays is not a crime. It just isn't LibDem either.
-
The whole point of a party is to be selective about views. If you're not a close enough fit, there are other parties!

I'd like to think libdems a place for ppl with a variety of personal beliefs who all commit to subordinating them to liberalism
