It was on the subject of mercy. Even if I disagree with the pastor's "hate the sin not the sinner" policy, at least he acknowledged that forgiveness for everyone is inconsistent with an arbitrary disgust with LGBT persons. Speakers who don't realize that that inconsistency exists get on my nerves very quickly, because they have no idea what mixed messages they're sending.
