Stewart: So why not encourage gay people to join in in that family arrangement if that is what provides stability to a society?

Bennett: Well I think if gay..gay people are already members of families...

Stewart: What? (almost spitting out his drink)

Bennett: They're sons and they're daughters..

Stewart: So that's where the buck stops, that's the gay ceiling.

Bennett Look, it's a debate about whether you think marriage is between a man and a women.

Stewart:I disagree, I think it's a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish.

Not only did Jon Stewart nail Bill Bennett, but did so without mentioning the hypocrisy of "Morality Police" Bennett's, gambling addiction. The reality of why Bennett couldn't reason his way out of this is because the movement is not about reason, or morality -- it's a religious viewpoint. Bennett was trying to argue his case while avoiding his (and other gay marriage opponent's) real reason for wanting the Amendment: The Bible.

The truth of it is that the Church admits its insignificance by begging the State to protect the "sanctity" of marriage.
