First of all, I am not in Santorum's camp. In the clip I saw, I thought it was pretty clear that he was making the observation that if the court decided that the state can not interfere in private sexual relationships with regard to the gender of your partner, then the same legal argument will quickly be expanded to say that the government can not control the number or marital status of your partners.
I have to say I agree with him, but that is because I don't think that the government should have any interest in any of the above. I see a good thing where he sees a bad thing.
I am sure that he believes it is perfectly OK to have laws governing all of these activities, but I don't think his comments were "gay bashing" in anyway.
