The results of Maine’s Question 1 are debated by Maggie Gallagher (National Organization for Marriage) and Evan Wolfson (Freedom to Marry) on ABC’s Twittercast.
The segments are 4-6 minutes in length and are separated by 30-second commercials. Watch it here.
Maggie makes a great point toward the end that Evan has difficulty defending—that Americans are tired of being called “haters” and bigots simply because they disagree with same-sex marriage.
Evan describes people who support one-man, one-woman marriage in the interview as, “cruel” and “… attacking gay families,” and, “The groups that are funding anti-gay attacks in states like Maine…”
He seems to back off of that language, or attempts to confine it to organizations, but Maggie addresses it this way:
“…I think that that’s why the gay marriage movement is losing right now, because they don’t respect Americans who disagree with them on the marriage question.”
