You're claiming he said something that he did not say. Worse, you're claiming he said something that is the opposite of what he said.
There are many, many examples of things people might find immoral, but simultaneously don't want to restrict peoples' rights to do. This is the basis of classical liberal thinking, and quite frankly is the the underpinning of western liberal democracies.
-Many people think consuming alcohol is immoral, but don't want to restrict its use by others
- Many people think pre-marital sex is immoral, but don't want to restrict others' freedoms on sex
etc
Interestingly, I don't recall there being backlash (maybe there was?) against Kadri for taking the Stanley Cup to a mosque this summer - a mosque that is overtly and publicly anti-gay.
