Careful on labeling others a bigot least you fall into the trap your calling them.
Ah but that's the thing isn't it? You never actually get to vote on this kind of thing, it's all just rolled into a parties policies and you have to choose the one with the least amount of un-appealing policies.

I do agree with your last point though, I did try to say it earlier, everyone is entitled to their opinions and as it stands all he did was give his opinions WHEN ASKED, he's not persecuting anyone.

So, if you call someone a bigot for stating their views does that make you a bigot? Or just intolerant of others?
