NOM, 2008: “We Won Despite Being Outspent” versus NOM, 2012: “We Lost Because We Were Outspent”

The Hypocrisy Files: Maggie Gallagher Wants Proof Gay Marriage Does No Harm Over 30 Years — While Making It Impossible for Gays to Marry, Ever

Maggie Gallagher“With events changing rapidly on marriage equality, and with gays and lesbians getting married now for eight years in Massachusetts and with no damage to the heterosexual marriage (Massachusetts actually has the lowest divorce rate in the country), what would it take for [Maggie Gallagher, co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage] to throw in the towel and say that gay marriage does no harm? …
