WATCH: Evan Wolfson Destroys NOM President in Debate Video @Link

When two of the most prominent spokesmen for their sides of the marriage equality fight sat down on Monday for a 10-minute debate over what's happening in New Jersey, you knew it would be worth watching.

Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, set about dismantling the "torrent of talking points" that Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, unloaded during the televised discussion on Up Close With Diana Williams.

When Brown insisted gay rights activists in New Jersey were trying to "redefine marriage" with a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, Wolfson shot back that, "Marriage is not defined by who is denied it."

And when Brown claimed that "democracy doesn't count here" because Wolfson opposes a proposal by Gov. Chris Christie to put same-sex marriage up for a statewide debate and vote, it was answered with a civics lesson on American values:

And astonished that one can so badly misunderstand what he studied because he's so totally blinded by fear of his god. If he could only be brought to understand that his soul is in far more danger because of the damage he's doing to Gay people every day, I'm certain he's have a happier life.

GO EVAN. Thank you for speaking on our behalf.
