I think what you’ve described is actually just more of something you touched on in your recent video, Rob:

When our opponents demonize openly gay men and falsely shine the spotlight on us, they’re letting the real abusers hide in the darkness and continue their abuse. And that just reveals our opponents’ real agenda. They care more about demonizing gay men than they do about protecting kids. They’re literally sacrificing children to their own homophobia.

These are people so obsessed with denying gay people their human rights that they’re willing to use child abuse victims as pawns. If they’re so collous that they’re willing to do that, how easy do you think it would be for them to misrepresent scientific research about adoptive families to fit their goals? How much regret do you think they’d feel for the hurt and insult to adoptive parents and kids?

These are people who have lost a defining characteristic of what it means to be human: the ability to empathise.

She can’t win. The fact is (as Olson & Boies have pointed out) hundreds of thousands of gay couples have been, are currently and will be raising children. This fact will never change – no matter what crazy scenario Maggie Gallagher wants to portray. For those children, having their parents married is best and most secure for them. Period. She’s grasping at straws at this point. As you so eloquently put, Maggie Gallagher is more concerned about states legally justifying her hatred rather than what’s best for the children of gay couples. No matter what she says, her argument will always come back to that – which is why she’ll lose.
