It's good to see Dan getting involved.
He made a great point about straight people defining EVERYTHING!!

Yeah I caught that last night. That Family Research Council dbag was driving me nuts with that shit-eating smirk he had on much of the time.

As for the debate, Dan got a little too emotional toward the end (rightly so), but it didn't help his case that he kept interupting everybody, including Anderson Cooper.

Moral of the story.

Old people suck ass.

"You stripped me of my rights and I interrupted you. Who's really suffering here ?"

Nice one, Dan.


I just wish they both didn't talk over each other so much. That tunes viewers out really quickly.

Sooooo many good quotes.

"Marriage is defined by straight men, redefined by straight men, and these guys want to redefine it back to the sexist, patriarchal definition" (paraphrase)

"Those are studies funded by bigots, for bigots to justify bigotry."

Good video, but the interrupting was miserable.

 

[Crackberry]

That Tony Perkins guy is so pathetic, and he never has any good arguments for his positions.

 

[neruda]

Excellent logical points here.
Surely common sense should prevail after these were made.

It should...

But sadly, common sense isn't very common anymore.

 

[thermodynamics]

I saw that when it aired. Go Dan!

 

[D-Base]

That Tony dude needs his ass redefined... not the word marriage!
