I bet not a single one of them could or would debate with you the legality of the gay marriage issue, especially the illegal way california reached its descision on the issue. I bet they wanted to strawman you up and put words into your mouth, and then attack the strawman. I bet they claim to be reading between the lines as if you are propagating some conspiracy, and try to point to a slippery slope, rather than simply opening thier minds and looking at the legality of same sex marriage.
Seems like a decent description, in general.
Except I do recall at least one person being willing to discuss the legality. "not a single one" is false.
