It seems as though one of the concerns that gets masked by his disapproval of homosexuality in general is the point that the Sci-Fi Channel's visible homosexuality will probably just be part of an increase in the pulpy alien sex-bot style of science fiction programming, rather than the sort of thoughtful sci-fi that a lot of people keep hoping for.
In an elaboration he makes in the comments section, it seems as though he is actually directing his anger at same-sex advocates whom he feels are insincere about the cause and are using it as a front to hide the fact that they are really attempting to promote an irresponsible hedonism. (Although admittedly his dislike of homosexuality is also pretty clear.)
Is an irrational lust and longing to mimic the mating act with a sex with which one cannot mate, at its root, any more or less disconnected to reality than an irrational fear and hatred of a Negro?
If you remove the bias dripping from his rant, this is actually kind of an interesting question, considering that both racist fear and homosexual love are primarily emotional in nature.
Runner up quote-of-the-rant!
Why is it that the lack of self control in sexual matters, where self control is paramount, is held to be immaculate and beyond reproach, whereas the lack of self-control when it comes to something trivial smoking tobacco is scorned?
