Well, for me anyway, if that is his personal belief then that is the kind of "having it both ways" I wish we saw more of in politicians.
Saying "I personally don't agree with this policy but will not stand in the way because it is simply my personal view and that is not sufficient reason for imposing it on others" is a very powerful form in integrity.
I wish I could remember where it was so I might find the video of it, but I did once see him at a debate or town hall type thing answer the question of whether he supported gay marriage very bluntly in the no. And then he went on and explained himself and what that meant in such a way that I was left thinking "well...short of simply saying yes that was the best answer to the question I've ever heard."
