I think you are right to focus on the issue of bigotry. Labeling someone a bigot is the last resort of the intellectually decrepit. It is totally irrelevant whether someone is a bigot or phobic or anything else. Society decides what it needs to do based on logic and reason. We debate things and listen to arguments from each side. We refine our position and modify our stance until we are satisfied with our argument.

Eventually we would all hope that the soundest argument leads to the best course of action.

It is irrelevant to even introduce the issue of bigotry into the equation since we do not make judgements based on bigotry but on reason.

The minute that someone even mentions the word bigot they have turned away from the only things that matter in public discussion which is the arguments.
