“My values,” makes perfect sense to me. When we raise our children, we try to impart OuR values-my husband’s and mine. Not “societal values” ( we disagree with some of them!) and not “human values” (what doesn’t that even mean?), but our own values based on our own beliefs and our own interpretation. My values may not be your values. Is that so surprising and contemptible? I’m just amazed at the lengths some will go to demonize this man. This was a personal question, and he anwsered it in a personal way.
I liked his answers, quite a bit.

I think acting in accordance to one’s own values is a good definition of integrity.

Does that mean all values are equal, and that if someone thinks it’s in his value system to kill, it’s then ok? No, of course not,although I know someone will bring this up. One has to look at the values in a broader scheme. We can disagree about values. But there’s certainly nothing wrong with having values of one’s own. I hope my children always will, and will act accordingly.
