Maggie Gallagher Gives Up

"It’s clear that the courts are going to shut down the marriage debate and impose gay marriage uniformly. There is not yet a unified sense of where we go from here, except for this: there is an accelerating awareness that the consequence of marriage equality is going to be extremely negative for traditionalist Christians. Refusing despair is a powerful political weapon. If we don’t keep fighting, we are not going to be tolerated. The question we have to face is this: did the Supreme Court give us Roe v. Wade, or Brown v. Board?  If it’s Roe, we lose, but our views of marriage will still be respectable. But if we let it be Brown, we’re in big trouble." - Maggie Gallagher, quoted in the American Conservative.  (Tipped by JMG readers Chris and Christopher.)
