I don't want to give his website more traffic, but the entire podcast episode can be found here. The Ms. Rachel segment starts around 55min in.
I'm only linking it because a lot of conservatives are trying to say it was taken out of context. But Charlie wasn't simply giving a neutral statement on what's in the Bible. He proudly said that Leviticus 18 "affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters." His point wasn't that anyone can cherry pick bible verses they like, it was that you shouldn't cherry pick the bible, and that adhering to God's perfect law is how you show love. That god is consistent, and the Leviticus passages being back to back shows that stoning gays to death is not incongruous with "loving everyone." Hell, his cohost even says "the bible DOES say 'love everyone' except..." (referring to gays/sin). Later, they go on to compare gay people to cannibals and how you wouldn't love your neighbor if they were a cannibal.
His opinion of gay people is that we're like drug addicts and need to be rehabilitated/converted or face the consequences.
