The argument that anti-same sex marriage (SSM) people are motivated by bigotry is a great favorite with those associated with the gay movement, but the argument is quite obviously fallacious The people asking the question of bigotry regarding those who oppose SSM is an empirical one, and I submit that if their motives are empirically examined, it would be discovered that they are not so motivated.

But those associated with the gay movement are rarely interested in this empirical question. Instead — using propaganda and behaving in a thoroughly unscientific manner — they simply classify anybody opposed to their agenda as “bigoted” and “homophobic.” Thus no amount of empirical evidence to the contrary will persuade them to withdraw their accusations.

One of my great objections to the gay movement is its profound anti-intellectualism, i.e., its absolute refusal to keep its mind open to empirical evidence that might contradict its propaganda.
