I vote no. I don't see those subjects as controversial; they are the floating gunk that people talk about which doesn't concern me much (I am neither gay nor Christian; neither April nor Christian; and neither a bankrupt girl nor Christian). I have a vague opinion on those subjects (yes to gay marriage, yes to abortion, no to prostitution), but I don't really care about them - they have not yet been made real to me and I haven't been indoctrinated in them.
A few months ago some people wanted to start a debate forum, but the steam ran out and it didn't happen. The problem is that The Cellar is already a debate forum. If we had a specific debate forum, then it would need to be differentiated by a formal structure that no one strode forward to devise (I attempted to create a similar forum several months ago, which faltered for the same reason).
If you have something interesting to say, then say it here on the Cellar. If you say it well and other people find it interesting, you will get responses. If you wander across the path of someone who strongly disagrees with you, you will have controversy and debates. Maybe you will learn something.
