So... he's claiming that the only logically consistent position is that people are right about everything or wrong about everything?
He could have said something about homosexuality being a sin, or wrong, or against his values. He didn't. He said:
Maybe strictly speaking this isn't an explicit call for murder, but it does seem implicit.
Incidentally, I would also be opposed to the murder of lepers, despite the fact that leprosy does objectively exist.
To make it absolutely clear, I am not bothered by the hypothesis that homosexuality is caused by pathogens, not that I think its particularly plausible. I just think that trying to fight the spread of a hypothetical non-lethal disease by murdering millions of people is ... words fail me.
