Freedom to Marry vs. NOM on who should decide who gets married

From Sunday's televised "debate" on same-sex marriage between Freedom to Marry President Evan Wolfson and National Organization for Marriage President Brian Brown.

The discussion was centered on whether marriage equality in New Jersey -- or in any other state -- should be decided by the state legislature, or, as Gov. Chris Christie has advocated, a ballot referendum.

As Hooper describes, "Brian Brown continued to (a) make the case for majority tyranny stifling the civil rights of a minority; and (b) filter his personal, faith-based desire to discriminate through that oh-so-exhausting lens of self-victimization that the far-right has adopted in order to make their cause seem 'nice.'-- fortunately, Freedom to Marry's Evan Wolfson was on hand to speak undeniable sense to blatant untruth."

Watch the exchange via WABC-TV, which serves New York and much of Northern New Jersey:
