Maggie Gallagher of the National
Organization for Marriage (NOM) has produced a short video on how gay
marriage foes can refute charges of bigotry at the Thanksgiving
table.
Gallagher, who stepped down as
president of the organization last year and more recently as board
chair, says it's easy for gay marriage opponents to defend themselves
against “indignant” supporters.
In the 3.5-minute video for the Culture
War Victory Fund, a project of the American Principles Project,
Gallagher doles out some “handy ammo for the holidays.”
“Here's how to talk turkey about gay
marriage,” Gallagher says, then goes on to list three steps.
Step 1: “State your position
briefly.”
Step 2: “Refute the charge of
bigotry.”
Step 3: “A call to tolerance.”
Gallagher suggest to repeat step 3 as
necessary or until “they bring in the pie.”
In refuting the charge of bigotry,
Gallagher say it's “common sense” to treat different things
differently. (The video is embedded in the right panel of this page.
