One very common meaning for the term "bigot" is basically someone who dislikes a group of people for no good reason. The term is often used as an umbrella term for "racist", "sexist", "xenophobe" and other terms. In this case, I used it as a synonym for "homophobe". If it makes you more comfortable, you could replace the word "bigot" in my comment with the word "homophobe" and the meaning would be the same, though less general.
