The author doesn't claim to be American and in fact is, as far as I know, Finnish.
Potentially "American liberal" is American-flavour liberalism, and not an American who is also a liberal.
Though it should probably be noted that I used "liberal" mostly a convenient shorthand to characterize my views regarding gay rights, rather than as a characterization of my political views in general. I expect there to be a number of issues on which my views map badly to the views of the typical American liberal, though I don't actually know American politics well enough to know exactly what views those are.
Damn ambiguous natural languages, you may be right.
