No you're not. You're talking about sharing the same freaking label.

When a census form comes out and you have to pick a gender, there are two boxes. That does not denote inequality, it denotes the two genders are not interchangeable.
I think same sex marriage is not interchangeable with traditional marriage. That does not denote inequality any more than it does with gender.

You may think I have this belief because I'm a bad person that is just finding an outlet for my homophobia, I don't know, I care less. Just be intellectually honest about it.

Make your point if you have a point to make, but don't run around with a bunch of bull plop semantics about how my label, unlike any other labels society uses (including your distinction) carries this rejection of human rights.
