Further keep in mind some truely horrible politicians have said what the believe in and what they believe to be the truth... that alone doesn't make them better people.

It sounds like the only definition of what's "offensive and wrong" that you want to acknowledge is your own definition. To Keyes and many other people (not myself), homosexuality is offensive and wrong.
According to what I understand your view of what's offensive and wrong to say, to disagree with homosexuality is offensive and wrong.
Sorry, but I find that to be offensive, wrong and maybe just a little bit arrogant.
I think we need to be more concerned with whether our politicians are speaking the truth -- or a truth that we agree with than if they are saying something that makes us feel bad about ourselves or that they feel bad about us.
