This isn't a politically partisan issue for me. His behavior really is at odds with the Episcopalians and my own church, and in an egregious way. This is not simply about his own personal faults, which I would not judge him f or, but his behavior is participating in a damaging Christian witness to the world and will scandalize the gay community against the name of Jesus. He is defending people whom our churches teach have erroneous consciences, when the proper thing to do is to refuse to assist them in shaming their gay neighbors.
