It depends on what you consider bigotry. I'm pro-Israel. I am anti-Palestine because the political pressures are trying to make Israel give up a portion of its country so others can form a country within the country of Israel. I wonder how much Americans would appreciate having to give up part of their country, their state, their town, to allow others to form a country with a totally different set of laws and rules? The Muslims are trying to do that very thing here in Michigan (Dearborn). Am I pro-straight? Absolutely. Am I anti-LGBTQ? Absolutely. You have to remember, God considers the LGBTQ lifestyle a sin. Does that make God a bigot? Am I pro-God? Absolutely.
I understood and the Palestinians would tell you, that it is THEIR country and in fact Israel took it and tried to annexe it. .and now don't want to return it... I wonder how you feel about Brits and Northern Ireland! And South Africa....Similar thing... Once invaders, (Amercians were once invaders too remember!) have been in a country for a long time it gets massively more complicated as there are generations of people who were born there - but does that change the ethical right or wrong? We do have to be careful of jumping to conclusions.. Americans tell me that the news they get there is heavily doctored and slanted... so one must be cautious of believing the presented view!
Some people have a very strange view of what God does or doesn't want and interpret their own way.. in fact God CREATED gayness - examples of gay sex occur in nature too - it IS natural!
Your options are worded incorrectly. Example: Pro-Israel is the same as anti-Palestine. In other words, your options really aren't.

I believe we all have some sort of bigotry within us.
While I try to be tolerant of most people (I don't see skin color or nationality), there are certain lifestyles I cannot condone. I am 100% pro-God. As "rusureamisure?" said, God considers the LGBTQ lifestyle to be sinful. While I don't hate a person who follows that path, I cannot - will not - condone their lifestyle. If that makes me a bigot, then sobeit. Standing on God's side is not popular in this world.
I actively try not to be a bigot.. it's really hard to be 100% non-bigoted as we all have our triggers but they AREN'T right... and they ARE our own shallowness, weakness and ignorance..
That said none of those are my own personal areas of bigotry.. if anything I am anti-bigots :P
