Crazy Maggie Gallagher of American Principles Project's Culture War Victory Fund and late of National Organization for Marriage has a new video out with talking points defending discrimination against Gay Marriage.
If you're ready to be revolted you can check out the video here...

My response after the break
1. State Your Position Briefly
Only unions that can make new life should be valid. Really! Guess grandma can't marry the old fart she met at church can she? After all, there is no way they are going to have children. Of course if they're first cousins get them to the alter.
Maggie, you can't claim this position without also requiring the ultimate consequence.
2. Refute Charge Of Bigotry
It's not bigoted or discriminatory to treat different things differently. OMG! Comparing apples and oranges maybe, but not when you are talking about peoples lives. If you don't approve of my union, fine. But when you want to codify your desire to treat me as a second class citizen into law, your moral argument falls apart.
If only us Gays would crawl back into our closets or commit suicide so God fearing Christians won't feel icky. That's what it really comes down to. We need to go back into the closet or lie by pretending to be straight because it makes some feel more comfortable. I must change who I am to make YOU happy. Bitch!
3. A Call To Tolerance
We are not haters or bigots and it's not kind or tolerant to suggest otherwise. No, you're just the same people who fight anti-bullying laws because adding Gay discrimination to the bills acknowledges homosexuality and everybody knows if lesbians would just act more feminine or Gay males acted a little more butch the problem would just go away. When all else fails you could just pull out the Leviticus card. You know what I'm talking about. The ONE verse in the book the claims man lying with man as with women is an abomination. Of course many of these bigots will be wearing clothing of mixed fiber. Some Christian families will also be eating ham or having a clam bake or lobster boil for Thanksgiving instead.
I liken it to treating the bible like a menu board at McDonald's. I believe in a Big Mac, but don't believe in the Filet-O-Fish or the Quarter Pounder. It's either the literal word of God or all bullshit. The idea that it might actually be a book of parables to create a foundation for a bunch of ignorant desert tribesmen to live together thousands of years ago never seems to enter into the conversation.
4. Pie!
The only intelligent thing Maggie had to say in the entire video. When tempers get short around the table bring out the pie to cool things down.
So have a Happy Thanksgiving today even the haters and eat more pie.
