Maggie Gallagher: Conservatives Have More Babies To Try To Destroy Inevitability Of Gay Marriage
Yes, that’s right. I’m not kidding. The National Organization for Marriage’s Maggie Gallagher just published, in the National Review, “Is Gay Marriage Inevitable?” In it, she offers a list of eight “reasons” why she thinks it is not.
Here’s the short-form:
- If you say it often enough, you can make what you want happen. Or, not.
- Kids change their minds.
- “Progressives are often wrong about the future.”
- Kids are stupid.
Nice work, Maggie.
Now, I’ve saved the one that I find disgusting for last.
I think creating a culture of having more and more children so you can seed the world with your ideology is disgusting. Yes, I’m talking to you, Maggie, and any other religious zealots, like United Families International.
Because, once again, Maggie, you’ve shown your hand. I know you love to do that – and you know I love to catch you when you do. So here’s what you wrote today in NRO:
“Demography could be destiny.
If there is one force that directly contradicts the inevitability argument, it is that traditionalists have more children. Preventing schools and media from corrupting those children is a problem, but not necessarily an insoluable one. Religous groups are increasingly focused on the problem of how to transmit a marriage culture to the next generation (see the USCCB’s recent initiatives).”
Now, let’s all be really clear what Maggie’s saying here: Conservatives have more children so they can spread their ideology across the world.
Sound far-fetched?
Maybe. But look at what Beverly Rice, (former) President of United Families International, (a radical, extremist organization) had to say about gays and population:
“Politically-correct movements to advance destructive and seemingly un-relatedcauses such as abortion, the so-called normalization of homosexual behavior and cohabitation outside of marriage all contribute to declining birth rates.”
And now we get at the true crux of their game. When folks like Maggie Gallagher say they don’t hate homosexuals, maybe they’re being honest. But that masks their real issue – and an utterly false and ignorant one at that.
They think that homosexuals are responsible for what they perceive as a lowered birth rate in this county. Marriage equality is a huge issue for them, not because they hate us (OK, I really do think they do,) but because they, erroneously see same-sex marriage as a threat to “traditional” marriage, and thus, in their tiny little minds, less “traditional” marriages mean less babies.
And what do less babies – less American babies – mean? Less future adults to fight Islam.
And that, my friends, is what’s behind the mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world of Maggie Gallagher. Religion, and wanting to protect not the “American family,” but wanting to protect America from Islam.
Stay with me here.
See what The Nation had to say about this, two years ago:
“The real root of racial tensions in the Netherlands and France, America’s culture warriors tell anxious Europeans, isn’t ineffective methods of assimilating new citizens but, rather, decades of “antifamily” permissiveness–contraception, abortion, divorce, population control, women’s liberation and careers, “selfish” secularism and gay rights–enabling “decadent” white couples to neglect their reproductive duties. Defying the biblical command to “be fruitful and multiply,” Europeans have failed to produce the magic number of 2.1 children per couple, the estimated “replacement-level fertility” for developed nations (and a figure repeated so frequently it becomes a near incantation). The white Christian West, in this telling, is in danger of forfeiting itself through sheer lack of numbers to an onslaught of Muslim immigrants and their purportedly numerous offspring.”
All you need to do to understand is watch this:

Now, do you understand?
What’s truly pathetic is, whether or not you believe the concept of “Demographic Winter,” gays are not going to stop people from having babies. If anything, gays now want to start families, more than ever, and could actually improve the birthrate for the Maggie Gallaghers and Beverly Rices of the world.
But, their entire world is wrapped up in defeating the LGBTQ community.
Demographic winter, Maggie?
No.
But settle in for a long winter – because we’re happy to do battle with you, and anyone else, to secure our rights.

President Donald Trump continues to tease out a possible 2028 run, despite the constitutional prohibition on a third term. On Friday, the 79-year old unveiled a new “slogan,” and his new name for Trump Republican voters.
Trump has acknowledged the constitutional block on a third term, recently telling reporters that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, a constitutional attorney, told him a third term is not allowed — a fact he appeared to accept.
But Trump on Friday afternoon posted an AI meme of a silver-haired, older-looking Donald Trump, holding a campaign sign that reads — not “Make America Great Again” — but, “Trump 2028, Yes!”

The post, on his Truth Social website, also says, “Trumplicans!”
“There is a new word for a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, which is almost everyone,” he recently wrote. “It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???”
Apparently, “Trumplicans” won out.
Health care activist Melanie D’Arrigo remarked on Wednesday that “Trump is workshopping names for his cult, while Americans struggle to afford the rising costs of groceries, healthcare and housing.”
Reporting on Trump’s musings, TIME on Thursday noted that his new MAGA moniker comes “amid high-profile divisions within the MAGA base.”
Were Trump to run for a third term, he would be 82 on Election Day in 2028.

President Donald Trump is under fire over a report that claims he is proposing that the U.S. recognize Russian control of parts of Ukraine, including Crimea, which Russia has unlawfully annexed, as a means to end the war.
“The Telegraph understands that Donald Trump has sent his peace envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to make the direct offer to Vladimir Putin in Moscow,” the news outlet reported. “The plan to recognize territory, which breaks US diplomatic convention, is likely to go ahead despite concerns among Ukraine’s European allies.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin “on Thursday said Washington’s legal recognition of Crimea and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as Russian territory would be one of the key issues in negotiations over the US president’s peace plan,” according to The Telegraph.

Critics are blasting President Trump.
Shaun Pinner, a former British soldier who served as a contracted Marine fighting in Ukraine’s armed forces, responded to the report:
“I’ve lived through the cost of losing ground. I’ve seen the bodies, the destroyed homes, and I’ve been tortured by Russia like so many others. Land is never ‘just land.’ It’s people. Families. Lives shattered.”
“So yes, watching Trump casually bargain away territory that isn’t even his to give feels like a deep betrayal,” he added. “It’s a lesson I wish none of us had to learn the hard way, and one far too many are being forced to relive again because one of our so-called allies is now suggesting we reward genocide.”

Michael McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, remarked, “Trump would be rewarding imperial conquest, thereby encouraging other autocrats to do so, resulting in a very unstable world.”
Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, co-founder of the Renew Democracy Initiative, issued a warning:
“If the US recognizes territory taken by force, just replace ‘leader of the free world’ with ‘for sale’. Xi can come up with more cash than Putin for Trump and his pals to do the same for Taiwan.”
Marko Mihkelson, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian Parliament, remarked, “If this is true, then we have a major problem, Houston.”

A Trump administration order to keep an aging and unneeded Michigan coal-fired power plant open and online reportedly is costing taxpayers about $615,000 per day, or $113 million to date. Closing the plant would save taxpayers about $640 million by 2040.
“The Trump administration in May ordered utility giant Consumers Energy to keep the 63-year-old JH Campbell coal plant in western Michigan, about 100 miles north-east of Chicago, online just as it was being retired,” according to The Guardian.
“The costs of unnecessarily running this jalopy coal plant just continue to mount,” Michael Lenoff, an attorney with Earthjustice, which is suing over the order, told The Guardian.

President Donald Trump signed a national energy emergency order on his first day in office this year, rolling back regulations.
In court documents, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said that the administration’s latest order is “arbitrary and illegal.”
Consumers Energy, the operator of the plant, did not ask the Trump administration for the order to keep the coal plant running, and the Trump administration did not consult local regulators, a spokesperson for the Michigan public service commission (MPSC), told the Guardian in May.
“The unnecessary recent order … will increase the cost of power for homes and businesses in Michigan and across the midwest,” the chair of the MPSC, Dan Scripps, said in a statement at the time.
Reporting on what it called Trump’s “pro-fossil fuel agenda,” The Guardian in January quoted the president:
“We have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth, and we are going to use it – let me use it,” Trump said in his inaugural address. “We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it.”
