Is it fair to call opponents of same-sex marriage bigots?

“Yes, they’re prejudiced. They shouldn’t be judging other people. It’s not their life. I don’t care if it hurts their feelings. They shouldn’t be prejudiced against people in the first place.”

“Yes. They’re too aligned with their own cliques and intolerant of diversity. To me, that’s the very definition of a bigot. They’re all about passing judgment on others. I just wish they’d follow their own Golden Rule.”

“No. I support same-gender marriage but, at the same time, I don’t think it’s beneficial to call opponents bigots. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Calling them names only gives them ammunition to demonize the LGBT community.”

“Yes. As a lesbian woman, I have no problem calling them bigots. They have no problem judging me. They need to get educated and learn more about other people before they spout their bigoted views.”
