    A lot of the same arguments, although the conceptualization of gender roles in marriage has changed a lot in 40 years. Also I'm impressed by the lack of religious arguments in this debate, because it seems these days that most people who oppose marriage equality do so for religious reasons.

    That is a stunning surprise, indeed!

    I can only attribute that to the nature of the show. Maybe it was forbidden for the two sides to bring religion into the table.

    I've watched 28 minutes of it so far. Though it seems the audience is pretty bias, I really like the show.
    Dr. Simon's arguments make me laugh. Such a fail.
