The key to that article is:

Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., asked Gorsuch to explain how his views on “marriage equality” have changed since 2004, when the George W. Bush administration was pushing for ballot initiatives that banned the practice in states.

Gorsuch replied that sharing his “personal views” would send a misleading signal to the American people that he might be inclined to rule one way or another on future cases that come up on the subject.

Right now it is settled law, however, that does not mean that upon hearing compelling evidence he will not rule against the "settled law" as it exists today. This is how a judge should respond, especially to a hypothetical, because the facts should be what carry the ruling, not personal feelings.

It is and that's what he said.

These "interrogations" are not supposed to be a tip off as to how he will vote.

They're only for the purpose of finding out if he is knowledgeable and a good guy. Congress sure abuses the system.
