I'm not surprise that you automatically assumed believers are judgemental, simply because they disagreed and voiced their opinions on this thread.
Besides, isn't labeling Conservative/ReligiousPeople/Christians views as "unacceptable hatred/racist/bigotry/stupid/ignorant/judgemental/etc" and having no tolerance for those views... bigotry in and of itself? Or what?

Disapproval =/= bigotry.
Disapproval =/= judgemental.
Disapproval =/= intolerance.
Disapproval =/= hatred.
Disapproval =/= whatever it called.

Really, it's so pointless when those people are honestly believing that someone is judgemental/bigotry/ignorant/etc solely because they don't support something. What a pitiful assumption...

Disagreeing something that does not make you a judgemental one. Just saying...
That's nice on paper, but I don't think that's reality. The reason why some are labeled judgmental is because they cross the line between disagreement and judgment.

Disagreement: "It seems to bring a higher risk of obtaining STDs."
Judgment: "All they care about is self gratification."
Disagreement: "It might cause jealousy."
Judgment: "They don't care about vows causing moral decay."
Disagreement: "God may condemn them for breaking the vows."
Judgment: "They are sick and don't know how to control their urges."

See the difference? When you make an assumption about what could be an outcome of this event, that's a reason for disagreement. When you make assumptions about how the person FEELS/THINKS, that's judgment.
