September 10, 1996: Open Lines - Gay Marriage
Art Bell opens the lines for a direct debate over same-sex marriage, civil rights, religion, courts, and the role of government in private relationships.
Callers offer sharply divided moral and constitutional arguments, often challenging Art and one another. The discussion captures the issue before nationwide legal recognition, with questions about benefits, terminology, discrimination, and religious freedom already fully visible.
