Is everyone that supports gay marriage gay? Certainly not. It's a silly conclusion just like the one where you must be a homophobic bigot to be opposed to it.

I would agree that you don't
have to be a homophobe or a bigot to oppose gay marriage. You could also be religious, or ignorant.
I'm not sure there are many
positive qualities that would make a person oppose it, however.
