Oh, I get it now. No, that's not what my question meant.
I'm not saying "I hate your political positions" = "I hate your orientation". I'm saying "I want to outlaw your marriage" =, for instance, "I want to outlaw smoking in your bar". Virtually all those involved in politics seek to use the law to prevent groups of people from doing something they want to do. So far, under what you've shown me of your working 'bigotry' concept, the politcally active fit. That's why you need to refine it.
Your distinction isn't much of a distinction, anyway. Homosexuals and smokers alike are perfectly capable of changing their smoking behavior and it's the behavior, rather than the preference, that is potentially affected by such legislation.
Are you saying that it only counts as bigotry if the target can't be changed to better suit the bigots?
