No, I didn’t make it up. You seem to have lost yourself in this conversation. @filmore, claimed that someone’s opposition to something would only be because their god demands it, not their personal preference, and said that that person would be labeled as a bigot. I said that that person would only be labeled as a bigot _if_ they imposed those beliefs on _others_. Someone isn’t a bigot because they don’t want to get married to someone of the same sex. They are only a bigot if they try to prevent someone else from doing so. It doesn’t matter if it’s their personal preference, or if they are just following the will of a bigoted deity. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-non-bigoted-reason-to-be-anti-same-sex-marriage/947222)._
