You know, people may have different 'concepts' of marriage and that is why they may be led to think that it makes no sense (in their conception) to create 'same-sex marriage'. I do not think this turns them into bigots, simply they have a different idea of what marriage 'is' and what it means in a society.

Calling people 'bigots' is not adding anything to the discussion and is just making your statements look unreasonable (as if you had no real 'idea' backing your defense of 'same-sex marriage' and you had to turn to expletives).

Calling a thing what it is is accurate. If that name is pejorative that makes those to whom that term applies, and their supporters, uncomfortable, so much the better.

Eich should fall on his sword.
