This made me sick. WARNING: This is very difficult to listen to. This woman is so ignorant. Michael handled her beautifully. He had the facts and made a sensible argument.Few times left her speechless and showed her that he knew more about her religion than she did.

Shouldn't this be on the off topic board?

It is now. Michelangelo Signorile and Andy Towle have been great about covering this issue. Michelangelo is helping to organize the NYC protest tomorrow at the Mormon Temple, and you know Andy will cover it.

The Michelangelo Signorile alone makes the price of a Sirius subscription worthwhile. He is great.

Michelangelo did a superb job trying to have a debate/conversation with this woman. She however couldn't answer any question but turn everything around and say that she was persecuted and wronged. None of the questions asked were even about the Mormons but about everyones civil rights. If you cannot support or answer the questions brought to the table, then you should keep your mouth shut.

So far, anyone whom I have heard say that they supported Prop 8 has not given ANY sufficient responses as to why it was a good proposal.

I loved when she went on about how hateful Michelangelo was when he hypothetically asked if there was a proposal against the Mormon church how would she feel about it. She had to be told very sternly to answer "YES or NO!" Brilliant!

OOps.Sorry. I thought I posted it in the Off Topic forum.

Yes, but rather than saying you are wrong she, like many others, get defensive and testy.He was civil and polite and had all the facts. He did not hesitate once and was just brilliant in countering her attacks.I really would like to see this guy on a news shows going up against some of these fundies.

For who are not familiar with him, Michaelangelo Signorile hosts a talk show on Sirius OutQ 109 2:00 - 6:00 weekdays. His show serves the gay community in an uncomparable manner, and he keeps all of us informed about the issues of the day. He often interviews folks of this woman's ilk and intelligently and passionately counters the idiocy often spouted. You go, Mike.

Her answer to that last question shows just how too stubborn for her own good she is.

But, this is a valuable listen because it's EXACTLY what religious Yes people think. EXACTLY.

That wasn't a difficult listen at all, it was fun!

She got a little Paliny there at the end. "Such hate! Wow!"
