What was the debate all about?

To a previous statement made by Walsh, Rogan asked him, “What’s the damage that gets done to straight relationships if we change the definition of marriage and allow it to include gay couples?”

The guest answered, “by making marriage meaningless.” This is where Rogan was taken aback and he came back with a response saying, “how does it make it meaningless? It doesn’t make it meaningless. It doesn’t change a marriage at all. It’s now that gay people can now get married too. I just don’t see it. That even deteriorates the idea.”
