Shouting "bigot" doesn't persuade

The most annoying part of the whole "gay marriage" arguments - how easily bigot is thrown out.
If it that's the only reason to oppose the movement.
Opponents of gay marriage are assumed to be ignorant and bigoted, with no real reason for their views.
Not the path of human history.
Not the scriptures that many base our lives on.
There's a great crowd of witnesses, our ancestors, who didn't support gay marriage. Are they allowed in heaven with that record?
It's oftentimes hard to express logical arguments on the subject. Arguing about marriage is like arguing about breathing oxygen or drinking water to survive - how it's been is so natural that we've never had to think persuasively about it.
Not like gay marriage proponents are going to be persuaded on the error of their ways.
