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.

He things gay marriage is an abomination to his religion. That's hateful if you ask me.
