Maggie Gallagher: 'What Harm Has Same-Sex Marriage Caused?'

From David Badash, at The New Civil Rights Movement, "Maggie Gallagher Fights Gay Marriage So She Won’t Seem ‘Like A Racist’."

Badash is in hopeless denial about Gallagher's thesis that straights who favor traditional marriage won't be bullied, demonized, and destroyed. We know (and can never forget) what happened in California after the passage of Prop. 8.

Andrew "Milky Loads" Sullivan responds (via Memeorandum):

Essentially, Maggie Gallagher is concerned about the affect of same-sex marriage on people like Maggie Gallagher. She cites no data or statistics or study which shows how any heterosexual marriages or children in families with same-sex parents have been damaged. She makes no claim that any such damages has occurred, only that people like her have been made social pariahs instead of the gay people who ought to be the pariahs. I'm sure there's a social science term that describes what she is doing, but I guess I just find the complaint that "you're making other people not like me" to be a rather petty and self-absorbed. Where, I wonder, is her concern about the affect on people other than Maggie Gallagher?

Right.

Get some help, dude. Clinical help.
