I don't blame him. He got ambushed. However, having let people understand that he thinks gay sex is a sin, his position became untenable.

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.
-
You argue he was badgered, or harassed.
-
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.
-
We can insist that our party leader express our values, or choose another party. If not, what's the point of the LibDems?
-
Might as well accept any views (EDL? UKIP?) just to be sure we don't restrict people too much.
-
I've said everything I have to say & would like to stop now.
