To be clear, I strongly disagreed with his post. I also don't call them gay. I call them homosexuals. Period.
But I see this site as a place where people can respectfully disagree. That alone will keep out the unsupportable positions of the liberals. The reason is simple: Thay can't stay respectful because eventually they get their butt handed to them and they go verbally postal. And then they give a reason to be banned.
If we ban all dissent, this site becomes pretty boring.
Oh, and after reading this guy's posting history, his banning was very remeniscent of the banning of another long time member. I searched it:

The user is Robroy. Looks like neither of them got a warning.
What ever happened to just agreeing to disagree on an issue and moving on. On posts here we not only get just a partial glimpse of their point of view, but sometimes people don't even really clarify their core point very well, especially in a single post. I wonder what either of these guys would say about the subject that got them banned if you could drill into their motives for their point of view and, for that matter, allow them to fully articulate the nuances. I wonder if either of them really disagree with the rest of us that much. And to re-iterate, I read FS2001's posting history on this thread (and a few others). Even though I disagree with him on this issue, he was an asset to this site, if only due to his communication style. The really creepy part is that sometimes I'll play devil's advocate on an issue in a thread to bring out some interesting discussion. Looks like that would be quickly banned here before I even had a chance to explain what I was doing.
Sorry, support of sodomites adopting kids trumps any other conservative “bonafides” one may have.
