This is it. The logic this thread appears to be predicated on is that you can't call someone a bigot because that makes you a bigot for not allowing the other an opinion. Which is nonsense...
The reality is that some people are bigots, and Cardinal O'Brien appears to be one of them. The people in Stonewall may well be bigots themselves, but not because they're calling O'Brien a bigot for a genuinely held belief. They're calling him a bigot for talking bollocks to back up his beliefs.
