Quote:National Organization for Marriage co-founder Maggie Gallagher has conceded that same-sex marriage will come to all 50 US states
Maggie Gallagher told the Huffington Post that she believed that a majority of Supreme Court judges would find any state ban on same-sex marriage that was brought before it to be unconstitutional.
Gallagher said she knew the end was near after a majority of the Supreme Court ruled against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
‘Gay marriage advocates now have five [Supreme Court] votes for inserting a right to gay marriage in our Constitution,’ Gallagher said.
‘We are now in the "gay marriage in all 50 states" phase whether we like it or not.
‘What's next? In my view people who believe in the traditional understanding of marriage, and believe that it matters, have to become a creative minority, finding way to both express these sexual views, culturally, artistically and intellectually and to engage with the newly dominant cultural view of marriage respectfully but not submissively.
Gallagher said she believed the next battleground would be over allowing religious dissenters to refuse goods and services to same-sex couples who are marrying.
‘As for social conservatives as a political movement, even to retain religious liberty protections is going to require a new and more serious engagement with politics,’ Gallagher said.
