Wolf in sheeps clothing?
Fatha Frank over at the Public Christianity blog makes an attempt at tolerance.
He is quick to quote the Supreme Court when it is in his favor but seems to forget about them when they’ve made decisions unsupportive of his statements.
Interestingly Fatha Frank writes:
But to me, calling the name "marriage" a right, and not the rights the name carries (which are provided by civil unions, although only where available), is an argument over semantics.
Fatha Frank I’d like to direct your attention to the Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia where the Supreme Court decision states:
Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man,"…
I direct your attention to the words CIVIL RIGHTS.

Oh, by the way, I'll stick with the Merriam-Webster definition of bigotry:
big·ot·ry - 1 : the state of mind of a bigot 2 : acts or beliefs characteristic of a bigot
big·ot - a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices ; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
