Here he discusses the possible biological nature of homosexuality - whether if it were found to be genetic - would he change his position. The answer is no - but the reasoning is not the same…for the last 5000 years…every religion says 1 man 1 woman. He seems to have forgotten Mormons and the curious fact that there are homosexual animals.
Instead he equates it to promoscuity and immaturity and lack of characters - all value judgments - not 5000 years of objective history.
Ann Curry snippets

ANN CURRY: Your position [on same-sex marriage] has raised the specter that you are homophobic.
WARREN laughs, like you’re kidding me, right?
CURRY: You laugh, but that is why gay people are angry.
WARREN: Well, I could give you a hundred gay friends–
CURRY cuts him off. Feigns anger: Are you homophobic?
WARREN: I don’t know any church in America that’s done more to help the gay community, particularly with AIDS, than Saddleback. But the hate speech against me is incendiary.
And the answer?
CURRY: If science finds that this is biological, indisputably, not something that can be explained in any other way except that people are born to be gay, would you change your position?
WARREN: No. And the reason why–
CURRY false voice: Why?!
WARREN: I’d be happy to tell you why. The reason why…We all have biological predispositions…
CURRY: You’re saying if it’s part of your biology, it’s your job to struggle against - if in fact it is the wrong thing.
He uses his gay friends to detour to promiscuity in gay folks. And yet he is supposed to be talking about marriage. He’s unknowingly endorsing it in a way.
WARREN:..I’m naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
Here’s truest emotion I have heard him speak with during all of his meanderings.
WARREN: And why should I reign in my natural impulses? And you say well because I have natural impulses toward the same sex I shouldn’t have to reign them in.
Well, I disagree. I think that’s part of maturity. I think it’s part of delayed gratification. I think it’s part of character. CBS Poll: Same-sex marriage
