Similarly, it is intolerence and bigotry which precludes his church from sanctioning same sex marriages.
In both examples bigotry is at the heart of the church ethos, therfore by sanctioning it, you accept the bigotry. Dave is indeed a homophobe.

I don't think Dave belongs to a formal Christian Church does he?
Then again I can't think of many Churches which sanction same sex "Marriage", if any.
That's purely because they see "Marriage" as a union between a man and a woman, and because they see "Marriage" as a spiritual thing as well as a legal one.
A civil partnership is as legal as a "Marriage", whether it's same sex or opposite sex couples doing it.
Dave is indeed a homophobe is your opinion, mine is that he's not.
That's all.
