This is probably the most succinct and effective debate that I have seen from the equality side. The questions represented the most common arguments and concerns about same sex marriage. Mary Bonauto was well-prepared to address the questions with concise facts delivered in a calm and professional demeanor. Can she please come help us in Washington state? :-)
