I sincerely believe that there are non-bigoted reasons to oppose SSM. No Devil’s Advocacy required. That you don’t agree with these arguments does not make them bigoted. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-non-bigoted-reason-to-be-anti-same-sex-marriage/947222)._
