Maggie Gallagher: I Have More Freedom Now That We’ve Lost The Marriage Battle

“I went into this fight, in good conscience, because I believed it mattered and that I had something to contribute. I did not promise myself I would win. I promised myself I would do everything I could see, to do this good, to fight for marriage as a universal human institution with certain goods and goals. I feel a great deal of contentment about that. I can see some things I might have done differently, but basically I was at post. One cannot do anything better with one’s life than stand up for what you deeply believe in, i.e, to speak truth, whether in power or to power. I have a lot more freedom now to figure out what I want to do with the next 20 years of my life.” – Former NOM president Maggie Gallagher, in a lengthy interview with the Huffington Post.
