Aaaaaargh. I wish I could post something snappy and hilarious, but that's just...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
That guy was on a BBC debate over here just before the presidential election last year. After half an hour, I felt profoundly sorry for the Americans exposed to his particular brand of bullshit however many times a week. :/
I don't have a link, I just heard it on the radio this afternoon. Basically, what it boiled down to was what's already been said in the thread -- a woman called during their gay marriage discussion to say that she saw no problem with it, and he tried to argue that if we gave gays and lesbians the right to marry, then bisexuals would want to marry a man AND a woman. Apparently, marrying a man OR a woman is outside the realm of his understanding. (Although, at first, the way he argued it made it sound like they didn't already get married. Ooo-kay.)
Also, he was having a discussion with his female cohost earlier in the show that I missed the beginning of, but I swear to God it sounded as if the female cohost was saying that now gay people could get a civil union in Massachusetts, but her aunt can't have a civil union with her boyfriend now. Riiiiiight.
