I think this sums up his view of the character: "Kirk was a job not a way of life.”
William Shatner recognizes the historical significance of Star Trek. He also lived during the 60s and almost certainly knew a few people who lived hidden lives. He's speaking from the perspective of experience. He's just not softening the blow for people who wanted to hear something more contemporary in his point of view.
I can see the issue from both sides.
