Maggie Gallagher Defends The Benhams
"If the Benham brothers are able to survive and flourish as home building faith filled reality TV stars, the dark curtain will have lifted a bit. The future will look brighter, new possibilities will open up, whether it is on traditional existing media, or whether we begin to fund and create our own networks of communication. For as the Benham brothers have made clear, for them, whether they are on TV or not, matters not so much. For the future of a free, tolerant, and religiously diverse America, it matters a great deal. The contest right now is whether or not the Left and their LGBT allies will successfully redefine mainstream orthodox Christian (or Jewish or Muslim) beliefs as the equivalent of racism. Or whether we will forge a peculiarly American path to a better, more diverse, and tolerant outcome for us all." - Maggie Gallagher, defending the guys who say the gay people are controlled by Satan's "demonic agenda." (Tipped by JMG reader Christopher)
NOTE: In her opening paragraph, Gallagher accuses the left of "slut-shaming" Carrie "Ladyfingers" Prejean back when her masturbation videos were leaked. Sorry Maggie, that was hypocrisy shaming.
