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

155. I'm sure that some are.

Do you really not understand the meaning of bigotry?
You are throwing out broad scenarios that may involve bigotry, or may involve sincerely held social, religious or spiritual beliefs. Many Jews, for example, do not believe in marrying outside of their faith. Does that make them bigoted? Catholics usually insist on conversion if one wishes to marry in a Catholic church. Hey, it's their club and they get to make the rules. They can only ex-communicate their own, after all.
Many will argue that marrying outside of one's church or race is not conducive to a healthy society. As much as you and I may disagree with them, I think it is unfair to label them as bigots, based solely on that viewpoint, without digging deeper. Of course, if they claim that interracial marriage somehow weakens the gene pool or other such garbage, then we can assume they are racist bigots.
The world is not quite as black and white as the small minded would prefer.

As you well know, I am a supporter of an individual's right to do whatever the fuck they want, as long as they do no harm to others. Who, or what they marry is nobody else's business, imo. Sexual orientation, ethnicity and religion should have no bearing. That said, why would anyone seek approval from an organization which has stated its opposition to same sex marriage.
This is a serious issue for the Vatican, and if things do not change soon, then its power will continue to decline, which imo is not such a bad thing. Many people will still be Catholic, but they won't be attending church services. I already see this, both here in Italy and also in Mexico. There is little love left for the church.
