This type of attitude is part of the problem. It is very disingenuous for a liberal/progressive type to pose as accepting of "reasonable" social conservatives...just so long as said social conservatives don't have socially conservative opinions. It the lib/prog has already decided that people who believe marriage is defined by the traditional union of one man and one woman are bigots then the lib/prog has basically eliminated any space for discussion.
Well, that's not the bigoted part. You can have your own personal views on something without wanting it enforced on others for your own satisfaction. The bigotry occurs beyond that, when you show prejudice towards non-heterosexual people or when you don't want same sex couples to get married.
