@ShaunaDDye The fact that you so easily compared your fellow gay and lesbian citizens to murderers, polygamists, and people who commit bestiality shows the compassion or lack thereof you have for this group. Saying things like this only exposes the truth on how high you place yourself above them. They are second-class to you. And don't mention God, you don't represent him or speak for him.

i am so glad you posted this. it was incredible to watch this staunch conservative support the entire process of repealing prop 8, in the language of conservatism. wow.

This guy's like a robot -- with his knowledge and amazing elocution. He also seems unbelievably lucid.

Very inspiring. :)

Haha, Wallace got owned.

...And this is what happens you put a take-no-shit lawyer up against a Fox News anchor armed with nothing but anti-equality talking points and bumper-sticker slogans.

There's a reason why Fox News doesn't do this very often.

@ShaunaDDye one before you can bring up god in a grown up rational conversation you must demonstrate that he exists, not just assert that he dose. Second Human life dose not have an inherent value because your imaginary friend in the sky says so, humans inherently value human life, because we ARE ALL HUMAN, so of course we value our own existence. Murder is wrong because it hurts other people, gay marriage is not wrong because it hurts no one, see how morality really works, no god needed.
