Editor,
The issue of homosexual marriage has indeed taken the nation by storm. One of the frustrating aspects of this debate is that it is being fought on the editorial pages of newspapers or in brief television sound bites.
The problem with this is that this does not afford either side to build a thorough, comprehensive case by which logical conclusions can be drawn. Also, it does not allow immediate rebuttal to points made by their opponents. The result is confusion because the public witnesses only the conclusions punctuated with a great deal of emotion and not the construction of a building from the foundation up. With all the complexities involved here it becomes obvious that a formal televised public debate is in order. Such a venue would feature any prominent advocate for homosexuality. Perhaps even Nancy Pelosi or Mayor Gavin Newsom himself would participate. Their opponent would be a heavy equipment operator from Redwood City (Me). I have offered this same invitation several times over the last few years. So far no one has been willing (or able) to engage at this level. Maybe this will be the time - the people deserve it!
