Suppose someone claimed that inter-racial marriage isn't a real marriage and that real marriage is limited to those of the same race. Suppose that they point to the historical separation of the races as justified both societally and by religion.
Would you not say this person is a bigot?
The situation with gay marriage is *exactly* the same.
So long as the interracial marriage is between a man and a woman, it doesn't change the definition of marriage. Their entire argument centers around the changing of the wording of the definition of marriage being only between a man and a woman.
That's not the definition I've used: it is a bond between people who love each other that is recognized by the society.
