I don't think so, though you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I'm not rationalizing my perspective. I'm not irrationally afraid of the sexual behavior of strangers when that behavior has have no bearing on the way i live my life. I'm not selectively embracing the words of my most favored diety. I don't require, to feel comfortable in the world, control over the sexual activities of consenting adults. I don't require, to feel comfortable in the world, control over how consenting adults label their relationships. I don't reserve the right, to feel comfortable in the world, to judge the sexual activities and relationships of consenting adults(provided no one is getting hurt). Even if i were being a bigot, there is one key difference between myself and those i would label. I can take credit for my perspective on this issue. I don't need a diety on which to pawn off my bigotry.

To me, the issue of gay marriage is similar to the issue of interracial marriage. I hear very similar arguments against it from certain folks of certain religious persuasions i.e. it's not natural, it's an abomination, etc. Those people were clearly bigots. Religiously motivated bigots, to be sure, but bigots nonetheless. Calling someone a bigot doesn't make me a bigot.
