Naturally the National Organization for Marriage (NOM)'s blog is trumpeting the news as a case of "religious liberty."

She also said she thinks its unfortunate that people misinterpret things she says as a condemnation of "gay people" and their parenting skills."
This is a heavy contradiction.
If Gallagher thinks that gays make wonderful parents, then why does her organization go out of its way to undermine gay parenting?

NOM goes out of its way to disparage the LGBT community at every turn. They are an anti-gay hate group, pure and simple. There is no denying it with all of their actions thoroughly documented throughout the country.
