To be fair, "bigot" has become one of those fashionable buzzwords people love to throw around to shut down debate. However, in this particular instance the anti-gay marriage crusade really is textbook bigotry by very definition of bigotry;
"intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself."
There's also no such thing as traditional marriage which I'm getting sick of explaining to Christians. Like Christmas, Easter, the idea of a divine mother and baby, marriage and pretty much everything else, this religion is once again appropriating culture from older civilisations and claiming it as their own tradition.
I think you can't (unprovoked anyway) be bigoted against religion, especially if the religion in question is either Christianity or Islam. Both of these religions are inherently bigoted ideologies in themselves, so speaking out in disagreement against them is not bigotry unless it's unprovoked.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
