I read the "full quotes" section of him at your link (link below), and whether I agree or disagree with him on things he said, I don't think that can be construed as gay-bashing. If he had been suggesting throwing gay people into prison, that would be a gay-bashing statement, but his stance is that he doesn't think homosexuality is OK and he doesn't think it should be rewarded with special rights. Even if you don't agree with him, I don't think you could say he's a gay-basher, at least not based on the statements you've shown me.
