I don't know if I would go that far, but only because I don't know whether his anti-marriage position derives from a sincere belief or if this is merely another expression of his political cowardice. Although the public now supports SSM by a clear majority, that might not mean a majority of the electoral college. I am certainly insulted, though. Not supporting equal rights for LGBT couples places him among a minority of the people, and a small minority of Democrats.
Yes, it could be about political cowardice--I don't know and I don't care. Until he promotes fairness and equality for all people, he is a default bigot in my eyes.
