Maybe I'm missing it, but does he actually state any views on homosexuality in this? Other than the implied views from having voted for Sanders and stating that he's 'struggled' and 'shifted' on the subject (shifted to what?). It's a non-answer and I don't understand the praise in that thread for it. "Why can't we just TALK about it?" he says, in a thread where he could very well just talk about it. "God loves his children" makes no distinctions between saints, murderers, and homosexuals, yet we know God disapproves of murder, right? So it's a non-statement with regards to homosexuality.

His two links are 404s but the Internet Archive versions of those don't seem to contain answers either (they don't mention the topic as far as I can tell).

>I believe in the church--believe it has made my life better, made me a more caring person. I believe it teaches the truth. ... >It's totally possible for people who are both rational to come to different conclusions about things based on their life experience.

Kinda says it all.
