In itself, it's clearly harmless - the danger to gay rights comes from more mainstream Republicans who might actually get things passed, not from people like this.

The slightly harder question is whether by associating "anti-gay" with "obviously mad", he's helping, or whether by giving Republicans something to triangulate against he's harming.

But, either way, he won't change much, and can safely be dismissed.
