Maggie Gallagher: Moral Gays Deserve The Right To ‘Ex-Gay’ Therapy | The New Civil Rights Movement

The “ex-gay” industry kept the cash flowing into the coffers of hate groups like the American Family Association and the Family Research Council, as well as Gallagher’s National Organization For Marriage (NOM).

So, imagine my surprise when Maggie Gallagher, co-founder and former Chair of NOM, the National Organization For Marriage, chose to write a glowing response to Cumming’s op-ed.

In her regular National Review column, Gallagher calls Cummings “rather a giant in the field of psychology,” which is kind of like calling ExxonMobile “rather a giant in the field of climate change denialism.”

But the best line from Gallagher’s post?

“Cummings’s point is that competent therapy can be helpful to highly motivated patients who choose to deal with same-sex attraction in other ways than, well, being gay.”
