      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.

      Also, I don't think it did because I respect ppl who support rights they don't think good themselves but we've been here.

      We have indeed and your point is valid. For me, it just doesn't compensate the harm done to gay acceptance.

      If even the LibDem leader can get away with saying that homosexuality is sin, disorderly, etc, then who can't?

      Not denying it fast enough, you mean. We must never let ppl get away with not denying their beliefs fast enough.

      They might think they're allowed to have them & don't have to conform their thoughts to be liberal.

      Imagine if ppl started thinking liberalism about supporting the rights & dignity of everyone rather than all thinking the same.

      How exactly is saying "homosexuality is a sin" respectful of the dignity of gay people?

      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.

          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.
