This program does not contain a hint of “gay bashing.” You can play this with men or women in the audience who are same sex attracted, and not be embarrassed. You will not find a single word or suggestion that gays are bad or lesbians are unworthy. Instead, you will find clear simple reasoned arguments for why redefining marriage will be harmful to the whole society. Dr Morse predicts that problems will arise whether gays or lesbians intend them or not. Marriage plays a central role in any society. Radically changing the structure of marriage will have long-term consequences that we can’t wish away or talk our way out of.
