Well played
I give you an excellent example of taking the anti-marriage crew to task.
Now, Huckabee would very much like LGBT people to remember that not everyone who is against same-sex marriage is a homophobe, so please do not call him ugly names. And's he's quite right. After all, I don't believe in government-sponsored marriage and I'm not a homophobe! Maybe he thinks, like I do, that everyone (LGBT, straight or otherwise) should be granted perfectly equal civil unions and marriage should be left to churches, that way we pull the religious influence out of people's civil rights. Something tells me (and it might be that he called marriage 'the basic unit of society' or something like that) that he doesn't agree. I still wouldn't call him a homophobe though, if only because I don't find the word inclusive enough.
As an aside, Jon used my very most favorite-est counter arguement: 'when did you choose to be straight?' (in conjunction with a very effective thought about religion and personal freedom.) When Huckabee later mentioned that we can't have gay parents because we are here to 'train our replacements' I wish Jon would've come back with something along the lines of 'Yeah, because straight people never have gay kids.'

Dumbass! "Oh gee, because everyone else is against gay marriage, that is a good reason to also be against it." Yes, EVERY married couple wants to have kids. Last time I checked people got married because they fell in love, not because they wanted to have children together. Kids are merely an effect caused by SOME couples. ugh.
