Apparently worked at a gay bar for eight years. The article, as written, does not really seem to support the notion that he is “anti-gay,” just that he’s opposed to gay marriage… but that he also doesn’t like the idea of the institution of marriage being controlled by the state.

Getting rid of government interest in marriage would seem to be the way to make everybody happy. Leave marriage at its basics… a contract between one or more consenting animate or inanimate objects. Get it notarized and filed, and that’s it. The ceremony would be an extra, to be performed by whoever you could pay to do it. Ditch the weird tax stuff.
