While I don't know that any intelligent person would question the depth of someone's intellectualism based purely on political standing, I do think that the debate highlights the key issue with the opposition to gay marriage:
It's near impossible to make an intellectual argument against that isn't solely based on the word of God, which could easily be argued restricts the depth of intellect.
And, as Peter repeats in his post-debate interview, the fight for marriage based on Christian values was lost years ago. It's certainly not going to be won convincing non-Christians that a bible-based argument against gay marriage makes sense.
