Nobody likes to be called a bigot. That includes people who oppose same-sex marriage, who went a little ballistic on newly-minted Washington Post blogger David Weigel this week, after Weigel delivered them a stinging blow in less than 140 characters.
"I can empathize with everyone I cover except for the anti-gay marriage bigots. In 20 years no one will admit they were part of that," Weigel tweeted over the weekend.
While Weigel is right that in twenty years, nobody is going to want to admit that they once opposed same-sex marriage, is he right about calling same-sex marriage opponents bigots? Are the folks who yell "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" or those who make the case that gay marriage threatens children bigoted?
