So, one group(person) is attacking another group(person) based on beliefs. What is the difference?

  Some would call him a bigot, not just someone with a different opinion. Marriage can be a great thing and he wants to deny that to some people.

    Full Definition of BIGOT : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance People need to check themselves in the mirror with their use of language. Voting in a lawful election and supporting lawful candidates or ballot issues does not in any way resemble the definition of a Bigot. However, the hate going on here...based on such flimsy evidence...actually looks a lot closer to meeting the threshold test. It is obstinant and intolerant and disproportionate. Cue the Irony.

      http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot "a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)" He refuses to accept gay people as equals. He things gay marriage is an abomination to his religion. That's hateful if you ask me.
