WATCH: Evan Wolfson Destroys NOM President in Debate
when Brown claimed that “democracy doesn’t count here” because Wolfson opposes a proposal by Gov. Chris Christie to put same-sex marriage up for a statewide debate and vote, it was answered with a civics lesson on American values:
“I disagree with Mr. Brown’s explanation of how the United States is supposed to function,” Wolfson said on New York’s WABC-7. “Here in the United States, we actually believe there are basic rights, basic freedoms, that are protected for everybody under the Constitution. And it’s exactly what we don’t do is have a big debate about whether you should have freedom of religion, or whether I should have freedom of speech, or whether you should have the freedom to marry. We are all Americans, and we are all entitled to basic rights and protections. And we don’t put that up to an up-or-down vote.”
