Whats really scary about that is the odds are in your favour that you're probably right.
I know, I went from being sarcastic to thinking 'actually, he probably would...' as I was typing. He's an angry, angry man, probably linked to him being secretly gay and not getting that God won't be angry and if he is then God made him that way in the first place. God will care more about him making ugly hate speeches like this and encouraging physical and emotional child abuse.
EDIT from my point of view as a christian anyway.

The bible is conflicting on this issue and the faith itself as a result is full of conflict.
This is always why I have had such a derogatory view of religion. It's full of so much bullshit it's unbelievable.
There are those who take a very simplified view of it and stick to what makes sense, fortunately those numbers are growing but it's difficult for decent change to happen under such a ridiculous backwards dogmatic regime.
All the worlds religions cannot be right, this belief set though can be expanded to more than just religion, there's cultural aspects and other belief sets that people have that at times make even less sense than religion.
Nation states, democracy, borders, taxation, fractional reserve banking, trading things that don't exist for a profit...the list is endless the media is just mass madness televised or in print.
Way too much dogma and not enough spirituality and common sense imho.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It's that simple, what else is there after that?

I won't derail the thread by getting into the ins and outs of it but there is evidence that Jesus had no problem with gay people and he's who we should be paying attention to (instead of going on about Leviticus) if we claim to be Christians. I have a problem with organised religion too because you get things like this moron and it can be used as a system of control. One of the things christians like to say about god is he knew you before you were born, he knows every part of you down to each hair on your head and loves every one of them, so the same must be true for gay people.
This website is a little heavy handed but it has the information about Jesus not being anti-gay:
