He wasn't saying that he believes, personally, that gay people should be killed.

The phrase “perfect law” has a specific connotation in Christianity, it does not mean “perfectly clear.” It means that God’s law is quite literally perfect, and should be obeyed as such. The suggestion that it is God’s “perfect law on sexual matters” is very much a statement of belief that God’s word is perfect and should be obeyed as such.
Saying that he didn’t believe it is a bit absurd. There are many, many Christians who support the LGBTQ community, knowing full well what the Old Testament says and doing to regardless. Whether you are one of those people comes down to personal belief, nothing more. And Kirk’s belief was that the passage was representative of God’s “perfect law” on sexual matters. That was his BELIEF.
