Rick Santorum got in a lengthy argument with a young voter in Iowa on some pretty heavy topics: Life, death, health care, and gay sex.

Jason Kornelis, a 23-year-old recent college graduate, challenged Santorum on gay marriage, according to ABC News. Kornelis said that he could not see how legalizing gay marriage would “be a hit to faith and family in America.”

“You can’t think of any consequence?” Santorum asked rhetorically.

“Really- wow- um okay, well let’s see if we can have a discussion,” Santorum explained. “We can flesh out some, well, let’s look at what’s going to be taught in our schools because now we have same sex couples being the same and their sexual activity being seen as equal and being affirmed by society as heterosexual couples and their activity.”
