I agree with you. The key word here is "private". If you air your views, then they are political statements (if you are a political leader)
This is pointless. Are we back to pretending he didn't make every effort not to say that?

He made every effort, but he failed. It doesn't matter whether is was fair or not.

OK. The ethics don't matter. In that case, nothing to discuss.

OK, these ethics matter too but it's a different issue (Journalistic ethics) than what we are discussing (gay rights)

No, its not journalistic ethics. It's about politicians being required to express right views quickly & convincingly.

Yes, but I'm not complaining abt an aggressive journalist but wider attitude of thinking we have right to demand internal purity

That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking Tim Farron to not damage gay acceptance and not disrespect gay people.
