That's your opinion also.
Not everything can be washed away by just stating "that's your opinion". When taken in context, jar's comment about opposing same sex marriage being bigotry is correct. You can, riVeRraT, be opposed to or disagree with homosexuality and not be a bigot . as jar has said himself, over and over. It's when you want to change our Constitution to deny homosexuals the same rights that others have that you become a bigot. You seem to be confusing the concepts of "disagreement" and "intolerance". I'm sorry, but if you support a Constitutional ban on gay marriage, you support bigotry, plain and simple. When you support this ban, you step out of the realm of a simple disagreement and into a realm where one group becomes intolerant of those that are different. And different, I might add, by virtue of be born a certain way. How is that not bigotry?
