NOM's Maggie Gallagher to Marylanders: 'Don't Mess Around with the Meaning of Marriage'
Monday on TBDs NewsTalk, NOM's Maggie Gallagher appeared to express her giddiness that Maryland's marriage equality bill might not pass, and the possibility of a referendum if it does.
Jeremy Hooper at Good As You notes that Gallagher brings up her same tired, divisive arguments, including the idea that the "Black church" has united against the measure, and references to a skewed NOM poll.
Gallagher still can't say how allowing gays to marry has hurt "traditional" marriage in other places.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
@ Homer - That was my first thought.

Well,
Maggie has just become her own worst enemy. She has just taken away the people's right to debate and decide for themselves the meaning of marriage in Maryland.
She stands behind the idea of letting the people speak and then tells them what to think and "NOT" do, so much for Marylanders freedom of speech, assembly, religion and voting. She just told all people to do it her way. What a self absorbed religious $@%%#%#$%& bigot and hypocrite.
When are the people going to stand up to this sad excuse for a woman and human being and tell her to her face that she doesn't speak for them and she better get used to it because that is what our country was founded on. Individual thought and individual responsibility along with individual freedom.
There are over 310 million people in this country that have a mind of their own, no one's mind is stamped "The Property of Maggie Gallagher". She does not speak or even represent me and it is her sin against God if she thinks otherwise.
And it is none of her business who I love or marry as she would so arrogantly tell me it is none of my business about who she loves or marries and to stay out of her life and bedroom. First, you Maggie, and take all of your hate mongering sidekicks with you. There is the hypocrisy. Nosy busybody and gossip monger, you are the one changing definitions and lying to the people about it.
This ploy is evidence that she is not 100 percent certain of our defeat anymore or the power of her hypocritical belief to make all people follow her outdated faith. And, Maggie, please answer the damned question, "how does my marrying the one I love hurt your marriage?" and please use a answer that does not include the word GOD in it, or "traditional". This is a secular society and any answer should apply to that aspect for you as well as any politician.
They fail miserably most of the time, just like you Maggie. Get a grip on your own life first, take the sty out of your eye before trying to tell me what is wrong with my life, of which there isn't. Just get over it and go save some children from hunger and disease, but please do it in the country you supposedly love and not in some foreign country, you lying hypocrite.
Post thought, it must hurt your brain to even consider any other human being's needs for freedom and liberty and justice above your own, but your religion dictates for it's followers to put the needs of others before your own. And in this issue you fail miserably.
Not sure how you can get up every morning thinking of ways to screw your fellow human beings and then claim it in the name of GOD. You are sad and delusional. The hate has eaten at you for so long that you look dead inside by what is showing on the outside. We can all see it, you are not fooling anyone Maggie.
I challenge you to do one act of unconditional love and kindness to one person that you are fighting so hard against. I bet you can not do it. Your heart is so cold and hard that it might break if you did something out of true love.
You don't even follow your own religion, but lay claim to it, that is the reason for the heartless way you treat people which makes you a bearer of false witness in the name of your God, something you should be ashamed of for it brings disgrace unto your Lord and God.

I know I'm dating myself but my little brother had toys called Weebles, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down". If Maggie doesn't look like the prototype I don't know what does.

Maggie seems to be all wrapped up in the biblical aspects of marriage, which are contradictory to her position.
Nevertheless, if she's such a believer, she might want to start with the fact that gluttony IS a mortal sin. Sorry, you're on the highway to hell honey. Don't pass go, don't collect $200.

It's not what your eating, it's what's eating you. Maggie.

Patrick, I love that you mentioned Weebles. I collect the old ones. :)

I don't care what Maggie looks like. I do care that she's a hateful bigot.

she's a fat pig who is not getting laid so she's taking it out on anyone who is. can't she just have another brownie alone in the dark, cry some mascara and butternut tears and call it a day?

I'm totally gay, but there's something about her that turns me into a red hot hetero...I wish she was cuddling with me right now.

My partner just walked by, looked over my shoulder and said "ugh...who the hell is that". He doesn't know NOM or Gallagher, or follow politics...but still, her ugliness makes an impact. HAHA!

Look at the picture. Does anybody have any doubt that what she is really thinking is "don't mess with my food"? She's gaining 20 pounds a week.

Seriously! Where's the Jabba the Hutt v. Maggie Gallagher, Separated at Birth photos?
Posted by: Runt | Mar 9, 2011 1:29:46 PM
Where's the wedding ring on the finger of this creature SO concerned about traditional marriage and the sanctity of marriage?!
She probably couldn't fit it on her fat sausage stumps. Vile excuse for a human!

@Milkman: Your contrast of UK vs. US culture is supported by evidence, but I don't see any evidence that retiring baby-boomers are "becoming super conservative."
People's attitudes toward gay people can be demographically grouped according to era of birth.
The group born before World War II tends to be far more homophobic than baby-boomers. Those born after Stonewall are far more gay-friendly than baby-boomers; and the most recently-born voters(who were watching Ellen and Will and Grace on their mommy's laps) are the only group strongly in favor of equality.
But at the same that older homophobes are dying off, the opening of minds is multiplied because individuals in any given "birth year" group are generally trending toward better understanding as each decade passes and they learn more about gay people.

BBAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! I love you vicious QUEENS on here! I didn't even listen to this troll's video. I saw the image and went directly to the comments.
Thanks for making my sides hurt in laughter! I could care less about what this thing, and 100 year old white people have to say about gays. It worries me more when young kids hold on to this hatred and ignorance.

Anti-marriage equality laws are fatuous.

Why does the interviewer allow Maggie to make the obviously false claim that you can respect gay people, while denying them equal access to marriage? That's simply not possible.
