A hypocrite no, he defended his beliefs is all. Without meaning to offend anyone. If you read the bible especially the New Testament you will see it does say God loves everyone, even sinners. It doesnt say sinning is okay.

His scripture says homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God, I didn't say he said it. Indeed, if he goes off the bible scripture then he has no reason to oppose same sex marriage as there is nothing in there that opposes it.
My problem is that he holds to a homophobic belief - that gay people are not entitled to the same right of marriage as straight people - and yet claims to have no problem with gays. That is hypocrital. He's entitled to not believe gays should marry all he wants, just don't pretend this comes from anywhere but homophobia.
And the New Testament says that God sent Jesus to die for our sins so our sins would be forgiven. Basically, because the Old Testament made so many things sins, they had to write a new scripture that absolved people from them.
