...what we want our political discourse to look like, both locally and nationally.
A very good reason but I would say that this is a good time and place for such a thing; to have them "do their worst" and still have it resoundingly defeated would say quite strongly that their arguments didn't cut it here. I'll grant you the timing might not be the best but said social conservatives are going to be out in force anyway (just because it is a Presidential election year) so all the rhetoric (on both sides) will be coming out regardless.
I'd rather set the venue and hand them a defeat than have them set the venue and have it pass somewhere else.
