Dan Savage vs. Brian Brown: The Dinner Table Debate.
I watched the whole thing as objectively as possible, but in the end believe Mr. Brown was served for dinner by Mr. Savage. While the exchange got a little heated a couple of times, Brown's inability to effectively distinguish between slavery and marriage doomed his argument to platitudes we've all heard.
I should also point out this conversation was taped the day of the shooting at the National Family Council, for whom Brown tried to apply victim tagging and Savage would have none of it, citing their literature as warranting their classification as a hate organization. Brown just looked foolish in his inability to defend it -- at one point dry mouth made him look as if he was literally frothing. Savage also claimed the primary study conducted by NOM had been funded by them and had not been effectively conducted as scientifically valid, Brown merely contended Savage was whining because the results weren't the results he wanted.
I am very partisan in this debate, so my opinion might be affected; much like the national election it's not for the decided to really measure efficacy; it, it's for the undecided.
(Where Savage completely lost this gay man is in his choice of art. Far too ironic to live with; those unrealistic portraits with the buffalo head made me wonder how Dan became such a musical queen without having a more profound sense of design.)
