Since marriage is a privilege, how can the denial of something which someone isn't entitled to be considered bigotted?

It's the same things.

If heterosexuals weren't allowed to be married, they wouldn't lose anything nor would their normal lives be affected. Therefore, shouldn't the same thing be said of homosexuals?
Edit: But, you see, we have an accepted status quo which is the result of thousands of years of practice. Unfortunately for many homosexuals, the prevailing attitude throughout many, many cultures is that homosexuality is a gigantic "No no". Even in the United States, when votes are taken on the issue of legalizing gay marriages, you usually receive a resounding "No" vote. It might not be "Fair" but, then again, many things in life rarely are.
