The problem with bigotry is it has become political. When gay marriage is no longer a political issue and more of a personal opinion then it becomes easier to separates the bigots from the others.

Nah, I disagree. I think it's pretty easy to tell. There's an underlying bigotry in even the political positions. Kind of similar to the underlying misogyny and classism in cutting funding to Planned Parenthood when none of the funding goes towards abortions. It's not really political it's ideological and it's still bigotry.

Is it misogyny, or is it "Because this side supports it, I'm gonna vilify it so I can get elected?"

If you're willing to throw basic healthcare for women out the window for a political point, you're being misogynistic. If you're willing to throw basic healthcare for poor women in particular out the window you're also being classist.

If you're willing to think that its your money to do whatever you please with, then you're stupid.

If you support Planned Parenthood...give money to it! But don't make me pay for it. Same goes for every service paid for by the government.
