People saying it's disrespectful...
Your status does not give you a forcefield or instant defense no matter what you say.

"I hate gay people" said the Priest
"I'm me. And you're well... you" said the gay person in the first pew.

Does the Priest get a freebee cause he is a Priest? He shouldn't.
Should the gay person be ridiculed for sticking up for him/herself? No.
And just because he said "gay people", doesn't mean he was directly referring to him, but he kinda has the right to stick up for himself. If he rather chose his words wiser and explained himself, he would have sparred the ridicule he doesn't deserve. But he didn't, so people take it as a personal attack.
