The #EqualityTownHall Was Loud and Clear: We've come a long way from a plea for marriage equality
I’m concerned with the clear and complete disregard around religious liberty. This term was used a few times, often with the phrase “so called” tacked on. Candidates would say they affirm religious liberty, but then describe exactly how they did not.
Elizabeth Warren was asked a revealing question: How would she respond if an "old fashioned" voter told her that they believed that marriage is between one man and one woman? She retorted with, "I'm going to assume it is a guy who said that,” before answering, "Well then just marry one woman. I'm cool with that."
There was much applause. However, she then shrugged, adding, “assuming you could find one.” The audience roared with laughter, further insinuating that any person who held such values is so out of step, bigoted, homophobic, and small minded that he could not find someone who would be willing to marry him.
