![]() ![]() No I don't think so. It could be based solely on their religious beliefs, so that wouldn't make them a bigot. |

Hmmm tough question!
Me, personally, being a redneck hillbilly hick, I'm not against it. I have a sister who likes what she likes. I've always told her, "I like (Richard, or the shorter version D!ck), NOT Jane". ![]() |

![]() ![]() That's a tough question. I think it all depends on the person and if they speak of it with hate. |

![]() ![]() That's a tough question. I think it all depends on the person and if they speak of it with hate. I do believe you are right: From The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary: Main Entry: big·ot Pronunciation: \ˈbi-gət\ Function: noun Etymology: French, hypocrite, bigot Date: 1660 : a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices ; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. You can be against such things without being blindly devoted to the point of hating/causing hatred against it. |

Being against gay marriage does not make you a bigot. However, refering to homosexuals as a "bunch of homos" in my opinion makes you a bigot.

Uh uh,
Hating and being intolerant is a lot different than not agreeing. I do not agree with a lot of people but I dont hate them for what they think and I can certainly tolerate them. I have my beliefs and I respect yours. I am intolerant of Abusive people and sexual molesters. I just dont agree with same sex marriage. |

Very well said, tuck.
You took the words right out of my mouth..hehe! Although, I don't hate (hate is NOT in my vocabulary) my sis for what "she believes in". |

i think that some people who are against gay marriages, don't really oppose the union, but are rather hung-up on the term 'marriage' and feel that it can only be between a man and a woman.
i'd even go so far as to say that a person who doesn't accept, understand and/or even agree with a gay lifestyle, can still be fairly tolerant towards gays and lesbians. i wouldn't label those people homophobic in the least. |
