But those interracial marriages you speak of are between one man and one woman, which fits my definition of marriage perfectly.

What is the philosophical mistake being made? Is that same mistake being made with interracial marriages? And interdenominational marriages?

No, all those are true marriages, by my definition. The philosophical mistake is decrying "separate but equal" and at the same time calling for gay marriage, which, by doing so, makes gay marriage separate but equal to straight marriage.

To me, a "true" liberal is a philosopher who questions everything. You have to be a skeptic to be a true liberal, by my reckoning. You gotta ask hard questions, otherwise you're just running down the street with the crowd.
