While I disagree with his approach, I also disagree that it's necessarily the least bit bigoted. I think the idea is that the government would be irretrievably entrenched in the marriage thing if it handles gay marriages as well, and the best time to get govt out of marriage is before state marriage is extended to teh gheys.
