i think your seeing what you want to see i.e. you're wearing your criticism binoculars.
he hasn't said anything that's not consistent with islam (i think) in the two bottom links. anyways you should know that the words of scholars can often be misconstrued especially when they speak in ambigous tones which are so common in the west. but as i said he didn't approve homosexuality...and i know a deobandi shaykh here who gave gave shahadat to a homosexual (one of the hardest things he did in his life he said) and then proceeded to having the guy go to therapy, detox, etc. to reform his nafs.
the point is homosexuality is wrong but so is zina, these crimes do not automatically make on a kafir or a subhuman (though at the moment one is engaged in these sins their emaan is technically not present)...sure it's a sign that there spiritual soul is basically dead i.e. they have given in to the nafs (and there are hukms which would be carried out in an islamic state).
honestly im confused as to what you dislike abt him in those two video clips?!?!?! there were times when i became suspicious abt him because some of his quotes, which were actually taken out of context and he responded to them and explained what he actually meant and the matter was settled.
