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

Remember that scene in "Milk" where Harvey debates California State Senator John Briggs over the merits of Proposition Six, the California ballot measure that would have allowed public schools to fire gay and lesbian teachers? The part I remember most about that storyline is how vital those debates were between Milk and Briggs, and how Harvey was able to use those debates to point out the ridiculousness and the bigotry that lurked behind Briggs's concerns over gay people in the public school system.

It's rare that a debate matches those Milk vs. Briggs affairs, but we now have one coming out of Pennsylvania on the issue of marriage equality. Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach has introduced a bill in the Keystone State to legalize same-sex marriage. Meanwhile, another State Senator, John Eichelberger, has introduced a bill that would put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to ban same-sex marriage. Opposing bills coming from two state senators.
