Attorney Ted Olson clearly won the same-sex marriage argument against Tony Perkins on Fox News SundayÂ â€“ take a look.

On Fox News Sunday today Ted Olson debated same-sex marriage withÂ Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. TheÂ Prop 8 and Virginia marriage winning attorney elegantlyÂ made the case to conservative viewers in favor of marriage equality, saying he believes the cases the Supreme Court just agreed to review should bring a positive result for same-sex couples.Â

As in prior debates with Perkins, Olson was the clear winner, ultimately forcing the Louisiana conservative hate group head to suggest several offensive and outrageous claims. Marriage between two people of the same-sex is only about sex, Perkins suggested, calling same-sex marriage a “sexual license.”

â€œReligious liberty has been placed on collision course with sexual license because a handful of unelected judges and lawyers,” Perkins at the end told Olson. “The American people have a right to speak on this, they have. The court should respect the voice of the people.”

Currently, theÂ voice of about 60 percent of the people gives same-sex couples the right to marry, hands down.

OlsonÂ â€“ who was George W. Bush’s solicitor general and successfully argued before the Supreme Court the case that put his boss in the White House â€“ drew the FRC president’s ire. At one pointÂ PerkinsÂ tried to paint Olson as a left-wing anything goes liberal, by throwing into the mix a ridiculousÂ fear-mongering story about incest.

“I mean, if two people who love each other can get married, I guess Tedâ€™s okay with the story out ofÂ New YorkÂ magazine this week, that an 18-year-old daughter wants to marry her biological father. Are you okay with that?,” he asked.

â€œAre you all the sudden interested in what you read inÂ New YorkÂ magazine?â€ Olson responded. â€œI mean, itâ€™s very easy to say the sky is going to fall. Weâ€™re now talking about something thatâ€™s permitted in 36 states â€” or 37, depending on South Dakota last week â€” and the District of Columbia. No harm whatsoever has been done to heterosexual marriage as a result.â€
