1 Quotes
1.1 Bigotry
- "In the America that Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD) dreams of, the idea that children deserve mothers and fathers will become the legal and moral equivalent of racism. Their logic leads not to live-and-let-live tolerance, but to an ugly culture war, using the law to root out public expression of such 'prejudices'."
1.2 Discrimination
- "Same-sex marriage advocates are saying there is no difference between two men being intimate and a husband and wife, even when it comes to raising children. They are saying that the opposite idea, that mothers and fathers both matter, is a form of hate, ignorance, animus, bias. That's why they claim that the normal definition of marriage is 'discrimination'." [1]
Gallagher's views are endorsed by Rev. Phillip Schanker , director of education for the Family Federation for Unification and World Peace.
