I may have misheard her story, but did Mrs. Gallagher say that she had a no-fault divorce and re-married?  It wasn't that long ago that women could not divorce (or vote, own property, etc.) and even today, many churches would not honor her re-marriage.  It's hypocritical for her to argue that discriminating against gays and lesbians is "protecting marriage", while she has redefined the public definition of marriage being an unbreakable, lifelong commitment, to being a temporary, civil arrangement.
