you're grossly oversimplifying.

first of all, there are many people who have no qualms with homosexuality but maintain that the institution of marriage is something separate. are these people biggots because they won't change the label of an institution as old as civilization to suit the current political climate?

secondly, the bigot word is thrown around too much these days. just because someone condemns something that you do not does not make them a bigot necessarily.
