Extracts from the above website:
Li's Personal Beliefs
Nonetheless,[b] despite his insistence on tolerance, some of his
views, on homosexuality, for instance, are decidedly
unforgiving.
'The disgusting homosexuality shows the dirty abnormal psychology
of the gay who has lost his ability of reasoning at the present
times.'
In a 1998 talk in Switzerland, Li said gay people would be
'eliminated' by 'the gods'. Asked in Frankfurt, Germany,
that year whether gays could practice Falun Gong, Li answered, to a
round of applause, 'You can cultivate, but you must give up the bad
conduct'.
On mixed-race marriage his views are similarly intolerant,
as he sees such deviance as evidence of alien interference. Li also
regards mixed-race or 'cross-bred' people as rootless and deviant,
a sign of morally bankrupt times. Mixed-race people are a plot by
the evil extraterrestrials who populate his cosmology, which spills
over with accounts of lost civilisations, higher realms and
mysteries that science cannot grasp. 
'By mixing the races of humans, the aliens make humans cast off
gods,' he is quoted as saying in a lecture in Switzerland.
In an interview with Time Magazine Asia, 10 May, 1999, he was
quite specific about the role of aliens in the
present troubled times.
TIME: Why does chaos reign now?
Li: Of course there is not just one reason. The biggest cause of
society's change today is that people no longer believe in orthodox
religion. They go to church, but they no longer believe in god.
They feel free to do anything. The second reason is that since the
beginning of this century, aliens have begun to invade the human
mind and its ideology and culture.
TIME: Where do they come from?
Li: The aliens come from other planets. The names that I use for
these planets are different. Some are from dimensions that human
beings have not yet discovered. The key is how they have corrupted
mankind. Everyone knows that from the beginning until now, there
has never been a development of culture like today. Although it has
been several thousand years, it has never been like now.
The aliens have introduced modern machinery like computers and
aeroplanes. They started by teaching mankind about modern science,
so people believe more and more science, and spiritually, they are
controlled. Everyone thinks that scientists invent on their own
when in fact their inspiration is manipulated by the aliens. In
terms of culture and spirit, they already control man. Mankind
cannot live without science.
The ultimate purpose is to replace humans. If cloning human beings
succeeds, the aliens can officially replace humans. Why does a
corpse lie dead, even though it is the same as a living body? The
difference is the soul, which is the life of the body. If people
reproduce a human person, the gods in heaven will not give its body
a human soul. The aliens will take that opportunity to replace the
human soul and by doing so they will enter earth and become
earthlings. When such people grow up, they will help replace humans
with aliens. They will produce more and more clones. There will no
longer be humans reproduced by humans. They will act like humans,
but they will introduce legislation to stop human
reproduction.

Before I reply to this thread, I feel I own everybody an
explanation. I am here not to preach or even convert anybody to
Falungong. It had never being my original intention. Such spiritual
matters to a very large extent are decided by fate. And true to
what the Bear had said, everybody have a right to believe in what
they want. Why should I try to convert anybody if in their heart
they have no desires to do so? Thus, my intention is to tell the
true side of the story and remove some of the harm done by
propagandas upon innocent and normally kind hearted people. Thats
all. There is no other agenda.
Elindra had quoted a very interesting article about Master Li
Hongzhi. Although I feel that my reply will not satisfy most
people, this is the best I can give. I can ensure you that I am not
taking the easy way out by giving this answer.
This is very similar to the case of sameul Lo's stepfather. People
concentrate on the few death case while ignoring the fact that many
people had their illness cured miraculously. This interview is a
very small part of Falungong essence. In order to understand this,
you need to have a foundation of knowledge on the other areas of
Falungong. Talks of aliens whatsoever will sound out of the comos
for any people who have no foundation in basic Falungong knowledge.
Won't university maths seem out of the world when you are ignorant
of primary school maths? The same theory applies. I have to
conclude by saying this. What Master Li is saying is not what you
are thinking.
Again I am not preaching, but the answer is in Zhuan Falun.
By the way Master Li Hongzhi had never being intolerant of
homosexuals and mixed blood. These people are also accepted as
Falungong practitioners.
