It is not a "hate bill" (as so often repeated here) if you want marriage defined as between a man and a woman and you are also in favor of legal rights for gay couples. Let them have all the rights they want, I just want marriage to stay what it is.
/would've voted for it if it were up in my state.

by your definition of marriage, all that matters is that it is one man and one woman. they don't have to love each, they don't have to even know each other. it sounds like you'd be 100% okay with someone marrying a lady from halfway around the world that they found on a 'mail-order bride' website.
i prefer the definition of marriage as being a union between two people who love each other and want to be bound to each other for the rest of their lives.
you're definition is religous in nature, but marriage is not. the govt. performs non-religous marriages today, and in different times and places in the past marriage has been more of a business transaction than anything else, with god in absentia, no less.
i also looked up the word bigot. my favorite definition came from the 'american heritage dictionary', although they're all almost identical.
bigot - One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
and if that isn't a form of hate, i don't know what is.
