He supported legislation that maintained the requirements for a legally-recognized marriage that have been around for as long as this country has legally recognized marriage. It's unfair to describe that as homophobic. We have no idea what his feelings are towards gay people, only that he believes "marriage", in a legal context, should require exactly one party of each sex. There's been no evidence that this position affected his work at all over the last 15 years, or the ways he may have interacted with LGBT coworkers. There's also no evidence that he fears or hates gay people. Relationships are a complicated topic, and a lot of very reasonable, intelligent people have a very diverse set of opinions on how they should operate. Can we please stop lynching someone because he happened to hold (at least at the time) the most popular opinion?
