Maggie Gallagher: Prop 8 Reversal Would End Human Species

• I want to clarify that when I call Maggot Gagginwhore a hateful hippopotamus, I am not saying that actual hippopotami are not cute.

• Maggot Gagginwhore.

• Actually, no it hasn't. Religious Right liars have to distort or outright lie to reach that conclusion. All credible studies say the only cause of additional health issues for gay people is directly caused by bigotry like yours making them miserable. If assholes like you kept your hate to yourselves, gay people wouldn't be so damned overstressed. Get the fuck over yourself bigot.

• You're an idiot, pure and simple.

• No, it will just prove logic and fact can override lie-fuelled voter hysteria and reaffirm that civil rights should NEVER be voted on, because professional liars like NOM can manipulate votes through fearmongering and ignorance, while the courts can only work with actual facts. Grow up.

• Maggie honey its too late you fat ugly fool I got married in mass. this summer give up you lost- now go get laid and be happy gee what ever why are you so bitter and mean I don't think you have ever had "Fun" thats is what this is all about isn't it?

• god that woman needs to get laid! sorry for her she is such a fat ugly pig

• LOL Gay couples sometimes have kids or adopt. And should we then not allow ANY marriage to hold unless a baby is made in the first 2 years? Mandatory Divorce one the nest is emptied or a partner becomes unable to reproduce cause your not producing more in an already overcrowded world? What is God's schedule for approved baby making? And should ungodly artificial insemination or fertility drugs or other science messing with God's plan - be banned?

• TO: Bob Jones In regards to your statement: "GOD BLESS THOSE THAT FOLLOW HIS WORD COMPLETELY - NOT JUST THE PARTS THEY WANT TO." Don't cut your hair nor shave. (Leviticus 19:27) Any person who curseth his mother or father, must be killed. (Leviticus 20:9) People who have flat noses, or is blind or lame, cannot go to an altar of God (Leviticus 21:17-18) There are more, but I think and hope you get the point. If you are not following ALL the laws of the Bible, than you are guilty of the very thing you are accusing others of. Of course, the christian community has been remarkably tolerant toward their own hypocrisy, so you probably don't even see the problem here.

• LETS FORGET THE FACT THAT MORE THAN 50% OF MARRAGES END IN DIVORCE, IF QUEERS ARE ALOUD TO MARY, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE NKOW IT!!!!!!11122121122@2

• Wow, It seems to me that you are obese or should we say FAT. Well perhaps we should ban all FAT RACIST freaks from getting married, as Fat woman are less likely to conceive. Now how would you feel if that were to happen? Not so good. There are millions of woman with children and the Father is no where to be found. Gay folks that have children continue their parental obligations. Why? Because the children are not accidents. We should get all Gay men and women to Marry one another. Ok, then What? You preach the word of God , with hate. You really hate yourself and wish you could be with a woman but what woman would have you? None:)

• different website and wondered how is network could be done? i think rule of the majority is the final arbiter too..

• So you that think rule of the majority is the final arbiter. If we could get enough people to vote for it it would be ok with you to bring back slavery? How about the argument that marriage is only intended for people who plan to have children. People who have to adopt should not be allowed to marry? How about hetero couples who choose not to have kids, they shouldn't ba allowed to marry? What's next, being forced to file your affidavy (Long John Silver for those of you who miss the alusion) that you intend to have children before being issued a license? Your "arguments" don't hold water. If the law of the land is changed to validate gay marriage, I, for one, will not get a divorce, so I don't kno who's marriage you're protecting, but it's not mine.

• My marriage bond has nothing to do with anything spiritual. Keep that nonsense away from my family!

• i've been married for 35 years, my wife and i both give our congratulations and best wishes for anyone, gay or straight who chooses to be married. the real enemy of marriage is divorce, and the relative ease with which immature spouses can dissolve both a spiritual and legal contract. of course it can serve to protect abused spouses from a lifetime of trouble, so i'm not really against that either.

• so say more than half the marriages for the next ten years were mainly same sex....are there not enough adoption agencies or vitro labs to progress humanity for more than enough centuries?!

• When I read the title the first thing that came to mind was, im not gay and just because 2 guys are allowed to get married doesn't mean i'm going to turn gay. So I was wondering how anyone in their right mind could think a straight guy would choose a gay sex lifestyle over a normal man/woman marriage. Then I was the video. I'm sorry but if the future of the human race came down to me mating with Maggie Gallagher the roaches win. Maggie Gallagher, please try to understand that the choice men have is not iether you or another man. There are LOTS of woman out there who men will actually WANT to mate with. So dont worry the Earth will stay Overpopulatd for a very very long time

• I suppose by her logic, any marriage that does not result in children should be nullified. Preferably within a 3-5 year period so that they have the chance to try again with new partners. After all, marriage has nothing to do with love or emotional bonds, it's purely about increasing our ~7 billion population to the point where we are unable to feed ourselves adequately, at which point she will have absolutely no choice but to go on a diet.

• So, what she is really saying is that if it wasn't for the Holy Scriptures being against being gay, then she would be all over other women?

• Oh my, Maggie Gallagher is a troll!

• If you can't answer the argument, make up what the argument is. a Judge Walker has ruled that marriage has nothing to do with procreation and that neither gender (mother and fathers) nor biology (the natural family) has any raitonal basis. How can you make fun of me for pointing out wha tJudge walker rules? Only if your goal is to deny what is right in front of you b Gay marriage will change the meaning of marriage for everyone, and marriage will no longer be about bringing together male and female to make and raise the next gen. So Judge Walker ruled, why are you fighting so hard to deny his ruling?

• If the country were intended to run on the votes of the people directly, we'd be in a democracy. Instead, we are in a Republic, and for one very good reason: "The people" are often biased, prejudiced, and needlessly phobic. Civil rights should *never* be left up to a simple public vote.

• Prop 8. does not affect anyone's life who isn't looking to marry the same sex. Let people live how they want to as long as it doesn't harm you. Happiness is the flavor of life, everyone deserves a good taste. NAMBLA: North American Marlon Brando Look-alike Association

• I wonder why a fat slob like this woman is even talking about marriage considering no one would ever think about marrying her. If gays don't have the right to marry, then this pig should certainly not have the right to reproduce.

• I think this is great. The sooner the gays get rights, the sooner the pedophiles will. Then everyone will stop arguing and the world will be right.

• do you think this fatso is married? if so, imagine her husband, gross. i'd rather watch two dudes get-it-on then this fat bitch.

• The reason that Google's new laptop comes without a CapsLock key is so that people can no longer say: AGREE IF ALL HUMANS ONLY HAD SEX WITH THE SAME GENDER AS THEIRS - THEN SOONER AND LATER THE NATURAL BORN BABIES WOULD STOP COMING SCIENCE WOULD TAKE OVER AND ALL OF THE KIDS WOULD BE BROUGHT UP IN HOMOSEXUAL FAMILY'S I DON'T THINK GOD IS GOING TO LIKE THIS SCENARIO - AND I BELIEVE CALIFORNIA AND THE USA AND ITS PEOPLE ARE ALREADY BEING PUNISHED FOR THERE PANDERING TO THE CRYING WHINING HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY GOD BLESS THOSE THAT FOLLOW HIS WORD COMPLETELY - NOT JUST THE PARTS THEY WANT TO. Bob, if you want any respect at all for your "beliefs," a little grammar and punctuation really wouldn't hurt your cause. I mean, anti-gay marriage proponents will always sound like a bunch of crazies, but using proper sentence structure will make you less likely to stand out from the rest of society. Also, if you think that being the tyrant and the persecutor is going to impress your "God," you'd best go back and dust off your bible. I doubt it contains any commandments demanding close-minded cruelness, nor using his name to propel your ill-adjusted social agenda. But hey, use His name and your CAPSLOCK key all you want, your an American, which means that the lessons of history don't apply to you, and you can do whatever you want.

• She's very good at stating her case calmly and not sounding like a crazy person. The things she's saying make little sense but her tone tricks people into thinking her statements are reasonable. If she was better looking she would be unstoppable. I love how people think that if gays were aloud to marry all hetero sexuals would stop having sex and there would be no more babies. Being Gay offends their religious beliefs so they concoct crazy end game scenarios that are pure fantasy.

• HAHA she says "it's just not right to cum in teh back door"

• did she really say "come in the backdoor"?

• Who cares? This only affect a tiny part of humanity. The other nearly 6 billion people on this planet do not live in bigott societies, and are not affected either way.

• "It will prove once and for all that the voice of the people doesn't matter nor the vote of the people." They said the same thing about equal rights for African Americans. The future generations will look at you with the same distain we look at those that tried to maintain segregation.

• No one has to worry about gay marriage. I too thought it would cause great problems for society until I visited Canada. They've allowed gays to marry up there for quite some time now and the country is doing just fine. Folks are friendly and their economy is in better shape than America's. It turned out alright up there, so it'll probably turn out okay here too. Let 'em go at it.

• Doesn't seem right to come in the back door. lol.

• All people are created equal and deserve the same treatment under the law. She states herself 7 million voter to allow all people the same rights under marrage. So let the voice of the people be done. THAT WHAT DEMOCRACY is all about!

• Thanks, pat. I meant to point that out also, but got fixated on a hang nail.

• The gay lifestyle or deathstyle, has been proven unsafe, physically and spiritually, over and over again. Society should not legitimize the deviancy of homosexuality. Joe Miranda, how can you call the gay lifestyle DEATHSTYLE, when it has been proven scientifically that lesbians have the lowest instances of sexually transmitted diseases? I am also interested to know how anyone can gauge another's spirituality. Spirituality is personal. Your commentary is subjective, as is your use of the word �deviancy�. Deviance can be characterized as ANY sexual contact for reasons other than procreation. It is highly doubtful that 99% of the people opposed to gay marriage have not �deviated� from this behavior. This is not about personal beliefs. This is about a country that states that all men and women are equal. There is inequality here, and that is the bottom line. It is only those who fear what they neither understand nor can control that seem so vehemently opposed to gay marriage. Trust me, there will be no lack of procreation. Abstinence only education seems to be making sure teens are failing to use contraception and getting knocked up, but that is another story...

• uhm, I'm not speaking for Coker but my guess is he's being (gasp!) sarcastic. He's not equating NAMBLA with gay marriage but NAMBLA with the equally odious (I like that word) NOM. Of course gay marriage isn't the end of the world. This lady just loves hyperbole. Why the hell is there even a Christian Broadcasting Network? This is the second odious clip in a week I've seen. Must find out more...

• cuz we're not over populated or anything.. idiot.

• FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY THAT ALLOWING SAME SEX MARRIAGE WILL NOT HARM ANYONES MARRIAGE. SECOND M.S. GALLAGHER IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THE INITIATIVE PROCESS IS THERE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE A SAY OVER THE LEGISLATURE HOWEVER NOT OVER THE SUPOREME COURT!!!!!! OUR (CALIFORNIA) STATE SUPREME COURT HAS RULED THAT PROP 22 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL END OF STORY!!!!!!!!!!! SO YES PRAY!! PRAY REAL HARD FOR BRAINS PROP H8 MONGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

• Either homosexuals are citizens with the rights of due process and equal protection under or,as Maggie Gallagher would have it, homosexuals constitute a permanent underclass that present a serious threat to society requiring their rights be limited. Americais areclearing moving toward the former and not the latter argument. I for one look for that fine day when the arguments of Maggie Gallager are tossed unto the trash heap history.

• regardless of your stance on marriage, this is a horrifically poorly written article. Even worse than OC weekly's already low standards. You guys need to run a few more discount boob job ads instead of this crap.

• If you don't want gay marriage, don't marry one. You'll always have your right to have a straight marriage, the gays won't stop you. The gays want an EQUAL treatment. Just because you're the majority, it's not right for you to bully someone by stopping someone to marry the person they love the most, who's the same gender as they are. It's not right to force them to marry someone they don't love at all, that's to the opposite gender. It's not right of you to tell them to remain single / staying together without the legal rights. It's not right of you to take the tax money from the unmarried gays so that you can have your tax savings / 1000+ benefits just because you can choose to get married. You can choose not to marry a gay because you don't have attraction towards them, just like we choose not to marry a straight because we don't have the attraction towards them too. We're not having problem that you choose not to marry a gay, we're having problem because you choose to stop the gays from getting married. Do you wish the gays go after straight people & screw up their life? Gays can still have children, just that their babies aren't conceived through intercourse. Hey, straight people do that too, look at so many sperm/egg banks & fertility clinics, look at how many straight couples go to those clinics. Many straight people abandoned their kids, many straight people adopted them. Likewise, the gays could adopt too. You don't need to worry that the gays will molest/rape the kids 'cause most molesters/rapists are straight people. Look at those straight people in jail & you'll know they're in there because they did all kinds of crimes. If your husband/wife leaves you because they're in love with the same gender, you should know that he/she never truly love you deeply. So, why should you feel bitter/worry & blame the gays for robbing your beloved? Your huband/wife may be your beloved, but are you his/hers? Why be a selfish person by using all the laws to keep him/her to yourself, who can never truly love you deeply, & using the laws to separate him/her from his/her true beloved? Are you really that desperate? That means you only need that person because you cannot find anyone better, you just grab whoever you can, whether they love you or not.

• With such a peace, there will still be quarrels and conflicting interests, as there are within families and nations. World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor -- it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last forever. However fixed our likes and dislikes may seem, the tide of time and events will often bring surprising changes in the relations between nations and neighbors. So let us persevere. Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable. By defining our goal more clearly, by making it seem more manageable and less remote, we can help all peoples to see it, to draw hope from it and to move irresistibly toward it. John F. Kennedy We are all Human, Stop Hate.

• The gay lifestyle or deathstyle, has been proven unsafe, physically and spiritually, over and over again. Society should not legitimize the deviancy of homosexuality. How do you legitimize it? By making gay marriage legal.

• So, JM, does allowing gays and lesbians to marry mean that no heterosexual couples will continue to marry? If what MG says has "absolute rings of truth", then the result would HAVE to be the end of heterosexuals marrying each other. I can say without a doubt, that in my case, that gays marrying each other will not stop me from marrying my BF because I'm not threatened by the idea.

• NH says Pedophilia exists as much in the gay world as it does in the straight world. Are you telling me that homosexual men do not desire smooth muscular young boys? Wrong!!!

• "If Judge [Vaughan] Walker's decision is allowed to stand, if it's affirmed by the Supreme Court, it will be the end of marriage as we know it in all 50 states, and the beginning of a new regime where marriage means any two people and is no longer related to bringing together mothers and fathers to make and raise the next generation." This absolutely rings of truth and is well stated.

• Listen to yourselves. If you really think that gay marriage will end the human species you are just plain DUMB. Gays already have all the same rights under Domestic Partnership. Which any sense segregates them into a different name other than marriage because some idiots feel that gays aren't worthy of marriage.

• no wonder that thing is so bitter...who's going to have sex with that ungly duck

• Listen - It's pretty clear based on Maggie's bitterness that the father of her child left her for another man -Seriously!! On another note, she obviously didn't watch the entire hearing because her conservative judge basically agreed in court that by the only difference in California Law between marriage and civil unions and marriage was the word - and that concerned him a great deal and we all know why And lastly Maggie - first of all, Olson and Boies want this to go all the way to the SCOTUS - and if I were you Maggie, I wouldn't be too sure about your views winning, you may not have the interest getting it there first because your right wing SCOUTUS judges won't want it to go that far if they can't get Kennedy to do an about face on gay rights and secondly, if it does get up to SCOTUS, YOU have to worry about Kennedy!

• I saw this clip on a different website and wondered how this network could be so ridiculously one-sided to only invite one part of the debate to argue their position. Now I see it's a Christian network. Not so surprised anymore...

• Maggie Gallagher attacks same sex marriage to repent for having a child out of wedlock. Why should gays and lesbians be happy, while she is so miserable?

• If humanity depended on men conjoining with Maggie Gallagher we would have been extinct 400 pounds ago!

• I would agree that NAMBLA is repugnant but attempting to make it synonymous with either the global gay community or with prop 8 is laughable. Virtually all perpetrators who sexually molest little girls are heterosexual males but do we then assume all straight guys are perverts? Homosexuality has been around as long as mankind has been here on earth. That would indicate that homosexuality, a small percentage of the general population, it is in fact a �normal� condition. Some cultures used to cast babies born with deformities into water to drown them. They were �different� therefore they were considered to be evil and those cultures protected themselves from that evil by killing the babies. Because somebody is different from others it does not make him or her evil. If all you�ve got going for you is that you�re not gay then you�ve got nothing in which you can take any measure of pride. Homosexual human beings are as likely to be good or evil as anyone else but they are drawn to people of their own gender for love. Depriving them of devoting their lives to one another with all the legal and personal ramifications of marriage is not an issue in a free society for which the general population should vote. A free country means being free not to be like everyone one else even if one is in the minority. Marriage of gays will not affect the marriage of straight people one iota. The notion that gay marriage creates a real problem is as paranoid as the �blasphemy� of a white person and a black person drinking from the same water fountain (formerly supported by laws that white people voted into effect).

• Will someone tell Mags that her hysterical rants just make here look like the crazy buffoon that she is. I really wonder if she thinks about what she says before she starts spouting off her ignorant comments. For someoen who claims to know so much, she comes off as small-minded and hateful. Maybe if she just came out of the closet she would not be so negative and angry. But, then again, the animosity must stem from the fct that she was rejected by the gay community.

• OH JEZUS MOTHER MARIA LETS ALL WORRY ABOUT THE 50% DIVORCE RATE FOR US STRAIGHT PEOPLE AND LET GAYS AND LESBIANS GET EQUAL RIGHTS PLEEEEZE! THIS LESBIAN MAGGIE SHOULD JUST CONTINUE EATING BAD PUSI AND AFTER THAT LET THE BITCH LOOSE SOME WEIGHT I SAW HER THE OTHER DAY AND SHE COULD BARELY MOVE THAT FAT CUNT OF HERS! ENOUGH ALLREADY!!

• She should have brought forth the evidence of this at trial, but she didn't because she knows this is absurd and ridiculous. According to this professional bigot, it is true if she says so. The professional anti-gay, religious corporations deserve to be financially devastated, and it's leaders thrown in prison for crimes against humanity. I hate ant-gay, professional, religious fascist like Maggie G., and her organization that is a money laundering tool for the Catholic Church, Mormon Enterprise, and Evangelical Mega Inc. Destroy them all!

• Sorry Matt, So if gay people can marry it will cause straight people to stop having sex?? How can you be soooooooooo irrational? I hope you overcome your hate. + if straight people stopped having sex, then gay people will step up on In Vitro. have you heard of that? My gay friend has a kid and our lesbian friend carried it. So dont sweat for the society and mind your business pls :)

• Thanks, Ms. Take. I always confuse sick and depraved organizations like NAMBLA with NOM.

• I think you made a mistake-- NAMBLA is the North American Man Boy Love Association-- or something sick and depraved like that. Not that this woman isn't sick and depraved also-- just representing a different organization.

• Disagree, American democracy is not only based on majority rule, but also minority protection. In fact the court system is one way that the founders intended to make sure that any group that finds itself in the minority receives fair and equal protection under the law. And equal rights aren't "special treatment." Be realistic.

• It will be the end of life as we know it. It will prove once and for all that the voice of the people doesn't matter nor the vote of the people. It will forever prove that the minority can receive special treatment from the court system so they can pander to the vocally loudest. All laws voted and approved by the people will be subject to lawyers and courts. Sounds like change enough for me. There is allready too much garbage litigation.
