Because they believe what they wrote. They think they have the Truth(tm).
They honestly don't see it as wrong, they see it as right in a sea of wrong; anyone that would take issue with it is the one who is misled by satan.
Look at how he defines marriage:
Quote:
A fact of life, in contrast, is "any aspect of human existence that must be acknowledged or regarded as unalterable." And the fact is, marriage between one man and one woman is ordained and maintained in its integrity by God and His Word.
Marriage is not my idea or yours; it was God's design from the beginning.

Completely unassailable and beyond any form of debate.
If you think that you are unassailably right, you have no motive to hide it.
If he didn't actually believe what he said then he might hide it because he knew it would hurt his chances.
Or maybe I'm over-thinking, maybe he just thinks that more people agree with him than disagree.

Maybe, I see it more of a character issue, there are standards for using titles like Dr. or Engineer or whatever, and ignoring those standards (or believing one is above them) says something, especially for someone who is working to participate in government, where the whole point is standards and compliance.
But in this context yeah it's a bit of a shot.
