I think the rationale behind it is that you cannot choose what ethnicity or religion you are born into. However a lot of older people, believe that homosexuality is some perverse, degenerate choice people make in their lives. Eventually that mentality will purge itself out of society as the older generations die off.

However, isn't homosexuality pretty much considered one of the absolute worst things in Muslim culture? I don't know enough about it to comment, but that is my perception based on what I have seen and heard in news media. How would that have affected his vote amoung the local Muslim community if it were to be true? Maybe someone with a better understanding could answer that.
