As much as any religious institution would like to, they don't speak for every follower.
If you think Monte is an idiot for believing what his religious leaders believe, that's fine. I doubt the guy has really given it much thought, to be honest. I personally don't have a clue how anyone could justify denying the right of two people to legally marry under the law. It's totally crazy.

Monte actively campaigned for Prop 8...because his church told him to (and because he's too much of a bigot to disagree)
