Awful human being NOM leader Maggie Gallagher appeared on the Lou Dobbs show on CNN along with professor Tobias Wolff to discuss the Obama Administration's confusing position on the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA). Gallagher pretty much gets destroyed by not only Wolff, but surprisingly, Dobbs as well.
She couldn't give a real answer when Dobbs pressed her on how straight couples are hurt by gay marriage. Can this lady go crawl in a hole somewhere and stay there!? On second thought, her failure to give a compelling argument may be just what we need!

I wouldn’t say she got killed. . .she just looked like a really bad politician changing words around. . .but again, it’s the same old story, America is holding a basket of fruit (marriage) the homos are fighting for oranges and the heteros are fighting for apples. SSDD IMHO.
Hey… the video’s down… and I wanna see it!
lol@lomade
Was her main argument against gay marriage seriously the idea that children should be raised by their biological parents?
Wouldn’t adoption, surrogacy, and divorce all rank way above gay marriage in that respect? And what about the millions of gay couples who don’t have kids?
Lomade’s right, though. They were arguing about completely different aspects of the issue. Wolff wants equal rights for gay couples, while Gallagher’s bitching that the government might force them to teach their kids a little tolerance.
Quite frankly, if NOM wants to “protect” the “sacred institute of marriage” (trying not to laugh)… then rather than trying to prevent a repeal of DOMA, they need to lobby for tougher Divorce qualifications and mandatory counseling and cooling-off periods if not abolishing divorce altogether.
THAT would prevent the breakdown of the family unit and would ensure that children would be raised by man and woman parents.
As for her “crawling in a hole somewhere”, if she manages to wedge just one shoulder in, she can go ahead and stick the rest of her body up her ass along with her head.
She would have sounded like a complete fool had Wolff called her out on her comment that ‘it’s hard enough getting a man and women together’ or something like that. I’d tell her to go to a straight bar and watch anyone that’s had a few shots. . .I’d put money there would be something happening then. (LOL) I’m also upset that Tobias didn’t say anything about Dobbs mentioning civil unions. Can anyone else say “Separate but equal” doesn’t work?
My main point with the apples and oranges comment is that (most) homosexuals want equal marriage for the legal benefits (be they through taxes, work benefits, insurance, the ability to see a loved one in the hospital, etc.), whereas (again most)heterosexuals want to stop ‘gay marriage’ for religious reasons. Seems to me, that if we truly follow the separation of church and state, only one of us has a leg to stand on.
Civil unions aren’t intended to be the ‘separate but equal’ equivalence of marriage for homosexuals. Heterosexual people, too, can enter into civil unions.
So you can say ‘separate but equal doesn’t work’, but that’s not really the issue.
Just saying.
I thought it was WTF, Tobias Wolff — one of the masters of the American short story?! LOL.
Lol shes looks totally stoned
I like how her argument for not changing ‘marriage between a man and a woman’ is because that’s how it is already and that’s what people are used to. Ummm… ok? and…?
“Changing marriage for some of us changes marriage for all of us”. Someone should’ve had the balls to stop the discussion right there and hammer her with “HOW?!” until she relented. What a waste of an opportunity to humiliate her.
