This is a common logical fallacy when it comes to rights. She wrongly feels that giving others the right to live their life is actually infringing on her and other people's lives. This is of course ridiculous and false which is why she is a bigot.

Her position is also anti anti-discrimination. This is the common trope of the right. They view fighting against societal problems as unacceptable because it makes them look bad. It is a kill the messenger approach that entrenched players use to try and justify their insane hate.
