Why do we keep calling it "gay marriage" - isn't it just marriage?

And I love how we sign our names -

Signed -

A white, hetrosexual, married women, with brown hair and brown eyes, maybe 5'6 and 5-6 lbs overweight, I like rainbows and puppydogs, I wear size 7.5 shoes but sometimes lie about wearing 7 and have freckles on my nose and have a brown cockerspaniel and a 2.5 year old and I just finished eating a poptart.

Does that make my opinion on marriage more relevant then yours?  I think the fact that I had a poptart for breakfast does.[/quote]

So why is interracial marriage called interracial marriage? Why isn't it just referred to as marriage?

Some people are really focusing on the wrong thing. Adjectives are used to describe a noun. Of course we could just use the noun, but the adjective makes it more specific.

Of course marriage is marriage, whether it's a marriage of a black woman to a black man or a white man to an Asian man. But because the discussion is specifically about the rights of gay people to marry, it's referred to as gay marriage.

I don't call it interracial marriage.  When I attended the wedding of my sister (white) to her husband (Korean) I didn't say "I'm going to attend their interracial wedding!" and when their child was born, I didn't say "OH!  I'm so excited for my interracial nephew to join our family!"  I attended a wedding and hugged my nephew.  When my gay cousin got married (cause we don't live in North Carolina) he got married, not gay-married.  When he adopts a child, he isn't going to gay-adopt.

When I got married I didn't hetro-samerace-marry.  [/quote]
