Mrs Gallagher has yet to articulate any clear harm associated with her position against gay marriage. Not a single harm. More concerningly, she has yet to address the fact that the vast majority of those who oppose gay marriage are holding that position because they are anti-gay. This is a wedge issue that allows them to express that anti-homosexual position in a socially acceptable way. While Mrs Gallagher may feel sincere in her position, her base of support is clearly impure.
