He is taking personal responsibility for his actions, he has stepped down and hasn't changed from what he was saying before.

On the other hand, when someone builds their entire life and image on morality that doesn't include being gay, then turns out to have those proclivities, they deserve to get reamed just for being stupid, judgemental and big stinking lying hypocrites.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you insinuate that the fault lies with them having a bad set of morals, not with struggling with something that they don't believe they should do. He believes that homosexual sex is a choice he made and that it was a sin, there's a separation of the person and the act in there. He's acting the same way as he would if he started doing meth or something else forbidden, then was forced to atone for his actions.
Even churchs that condem homosexuality almost always separate the sex itself from the person. It's not the urges that they find evil, it's going out and having a gay partner. I'm sure that if he had never given in to it and announced to his congregation that he himself is subject to these urges but was strong in the face of temptation he would have recieved an ovation.
You are projecting your belief that if a person has homosexual urges they must satisfy those urges, these people don't think that way.
