The argument I appreciated the most was the example of other nations where gay marriage is permitted. As auto-centric as Americans can be, I feel like it is one possible message that could break through the religion-based misconceptions and educate through direct evidence. However, those whose glasses are half empty might be quick to point out that Creationism, the origin of life on Earth according to the Bible book of Genesis, is still taught as scientific fact alongside evolution in many areas of the US.
