  One of the Best Marriage Equality Debates You'll Ever Listen To

  By the way, if you want to send or post a link to the debate, but you're hesitant about linking directly to the MP3, you can link to the synopsis by adding a search string to Radio Times' search page URL, like this:

  Unfortunately, WHYY doesn't provide a direct link, so you have to build one yourself... or just copy and paste mine! :)

  One of the Best Marriage Equality Debates You'll Ever Listen To

  Marty, civil marriage is a legal license that carries numerous legal benefits and responsibilities, both for the couple involved and for any children they bring into the family together. Marriage licenses  are not symbolic, they're mundane and practical, and they affect people's lives in very tangible ways.

  
  

  This fight isn't about scoring a symbolic victory. It's about equal protection under the law, upholding America's founding ideals of freedom, equality, and justice.

  
  

  Yeah, I guess that feels pretty good.

  One of the Best Marriage Equality Debates You'll Ever Listen To

  I think the slippery slope arguments are just a cheap way of inflaming people's "yuck" response to homosexuality and of reducing homosexuality to a sexual pathology.

  
  

  It makes it easier for them to handwave when we point out that every reputable professional health- and science-related organization in the world, based on reams of research data that debunk the notion, no longer considers homosexuality a pathology.
