Otto.....Protecting our servicemen and women from the incompatibility of homosexuality with military service might certainly be viewed as bigoted by some.

and on "marriage":

"Because our children’s future is best preserved within the traditional understanding of marriage, we call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it. In the absence of a national amendment, we support the right of the people of the various states to affirm traditional marriage through state initiatives....

Republicans have been at the forefront of protecting traditional marriage laws, both in the states and in Congress. A Republican Congress enacted the Defense of Marriage Act, affirming the right of states not to recognize same-sex “marriages” licensed in other states..."

A constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages (and to ban recognition of other arrangements equivalent to it (civil unions) might also be viewed as bigoted.
