You think it is only bigotry when someone is denying rights?
I think that sounds like a way to be a bigot and still pretend like you aren't one. Then someone can 'regard or treat members of a group with hatred and intolerance' but still feel good about himself because he isn't "trying to deny Christians any rights".
Here is how merriam-webster.com defines 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 "
Question: What is the difference between these things -
1. Someone saying that homosexuality is wrong.
2. Someone saying that 'saying homosexuality is wrong' is wrong.
