Does being adamantly opposed to same-sex marriage make someone a bigot?

this is not a black and white issue.

it boils down to the definition of marriage.

1) If marriage is defined as a secular ceremony, then yes, if someone opposes that then you can probably term them a bigot. The government should allow marriages between consenting adults.

2) If, on the other hand, marriage is defined as a religious ceremony open to anyone who meets the religious requirements of such a union, which usually extend beyond consenting adults: ie you are a member (in good standing) of that faith, agree to/meet the caveats/requirements placed by the religious institution etc AND you have support the ability/right for consenting adults to have the secular marriage, the situation is less clear.

3) if a person falls into category 2 but DOES NOT support the ability/right for consenting adults to have the secular marriage, then they may be eligible to be labelled a bigot.

However, if someone supports all other progressive and inclusive values as it relates to LGBT people save marriage should they be cast out and forever more be labelled a "bigot"?

Additionally, according to a recent Pew survey support for gay marriage in the LGBT community is not universal (although it is pretty damn high). Are they bigots?
