I wish people would stick to the issues. Name calling does no one any good. Just remember this quote:

“Don’t wrestle with the pigs. The pigs love it and you get dirty.”

Don’t use hate to fight hate. It does not work.

These people are so often in denial, but I can’t help but get the sneaking suspicion that they know the game’s up on this one. Just a few more years and they will be the unquestioned minority. That’s what happens when you go around declaring the apocalypse is going to occur if your opposition gets its way. The fear tactic only works for so long until the people who were afraid start to realize the sky isn’t falling and that the people who were scaring them don’t have anything substantive to say. They then listen to other side and are converted by rational arguments. Sucks to be NOM!

First of all, The Big One is the repeal of Prop 8 a year (plus) from now. After that it’s just a sulking retreat by the anti-gays.

Maggie has been moving on to ruining marriage for hetero folks.

“Syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher, who was included in one published list of participants but didn’t attend, said during a speech about the pro-marriage movement that Catholics and Christians had to be the “visible light” for people failing to grasp intricacies of the institution of marriage.”

Who knew that marriage is an intricate, complicated institution?

Regardless, all the polls have show accelerated growth in support for same sex marriage in the past year, no matter how high they show support being.

Okay guys… let’s not feed into the whole “but the gays are MEEEEAN to me thing that she’s already spewing.”

Not to keep going off on a tangent, but . . .

We’ve all heard how the threat of terrible retribution from mean vicious homos caused potential anti-gay court witnesses to hide and cower in fear, thus preventing their side of the issue from being told.

And yet Maggie’s existence is the prime chuck of evidence that those fears are nonsense. She’s been the public face of the anti-gay marriage crusade for years, so if there’s anyone who would be the target of terrible retribution, it would certainly be her. But, AFAIK, she hasn’t had as much as a classic pie in her face. And also, AFAIK, she hasn’t even been glittered yet! All she can cite is being called mean names just because she crusades to have the government and voters impose limits on the life-opportunities of gay people.

I’m with Priya on this one. As difficult as it is for me to accept that opinion has shifted so quickly, generally it is the outlier poll that is suspect. Not always, but often enough that we can’t just toss out the ones that agree.

There’s more than enough entirely due criticism of Maggie without having to go into things that aren’t really relevant. Im sure many, ummm, people to whom we might compare to elephants are strong supporters.

Yes, the comparison of Maggie with elephants was insulting to the whole animal kingdom!

Hi Richard,
Having worked up close and personal with elephants and one in particular, I can totally concur with your assessment of elephants.
I disagree with you on MG though.
She’s MUCH worse than that!

Roa, I think it’s a bit unseemly to compare Maggie Gallagher to Maggie the elephant – but only because elephants are among the most magnificently wonderful animals on earth who also manage to be cute, adorable, and cuddly.

I would compare Maggie Gallagher to a bloated tick – because she derives her sustenance from sucking the lifeblood out of millions of people.

Oh, look here, it’s a bloated female tick:

And who’s that male companion with her? Could it be Brian Brown?
