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.

-
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

Taking the name of the lord in vain & feeling list, envy or anger. Weird but what matters is what he says & does as politician.
-
Yes. What he says. That was the issue. He said gays were sinners (or an embarrassing evasion of that)
-
He didnt. He said being gay was not a sin but hesitated when asked if gay sex was before finally saying it wasn't.
-
He did try to explain that we all commit sin & its nobody's place to judge anyone else. Unsatisfactory ethically.
-
But the attitude we expect from a Libdem.
