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

92. the straight people timeline for

support of marriage equality which they equate to support for LGBT rights. Yes, Hillary was one of the later Democrats to fully endorse marriage equality. She was also one of the first national political figures to stand up for LGBT people and to take the unrelenting heat that used to come for doing so.

Back in 1992 Bill had the Democratic Nomination, Republicans had George Bush. The GOP keynote speech was given by Pat Buchanan. His Party at that time included Elizabeth Warren, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb all currently leading 'Democrats'. Pat's speech to his loyal fellow Republicans was a vicious tirade against liberals in general with strong focus on uppity women and those horrible gays.
Before Bill was ever elected, Republicans took to the media to call Hillary. a 'radical abortion on demand feminist and ally to militant homosexuals'.
Elizabeth Warren voted for that Republican Party. Lincoln Chafee who claims to be 'pro gay' was a full member of that Party that had just presided over the neglect of the AIDS crisis, the death of 30,000 Americans gone unmentioned by their precious leadership, and Chafee, like Warren, like Webb, heard that nasty, vile speech and all that unmitigated hate spewing forth from the Republicans and he voted for it.

So it is a big, giant picture. DU was all in for Warren. Her timeline is an ugly, nasty thing with GOP marked on it until 1996. She was opposed to any rights for gay people and her Party actively pursued that goal, Reagan pursued it with death and genocidal intention. Webb was in Reagan's administration.
