Maggie: Only God Can Stop The Gays

Maggie Gallagher: We’re Still Losing

“I myself am struck by the fact that given politicians and the academy and Fox News have all abandoned the issue, exit polls show Americans continue to be split 50–50 on gay marriage. The biggest problem we face is not that our arguments lack appeal, but that the debate has been closed down, and Americans rarely hear our arguments. That, …

Quote Of The Day – Maggie Gallagher

“When Christians tell me that homosexuality is ‘socially constructed’ and therefore not a ‘real; permanent feature of human existence, I generally respond ‘I know gay people exist the same way that I know that Methodists exist. I’ve met them.’ In other words, not all categories that are real are founded on fixed unchangeable essences. Sexual orientation as a concept is …

“The New York Times and the media are widely reporting the results of a new study of 500 children raised by same-sex couples.

“The rapid collapse of opposition to gay marriage we are witnessing did not just happen, and it was not inevitable. But it is. The question now on the table is: will orthodox Christianity (and other traditional faiths), be stigmatized and marginalized as the equivalent of racism in the American public square?  Will Biblical morality be wiped out as an acceptable …

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.

Maggie: The Cheney Feud Is Staged

“The Cheney family is a very close family, and I don’t believe they would have this spat in public, except for the fact that it’s good for both of the sisters.
