Maggie Gallagher Defends Priest Who Denied Woman Communion | Maggie Gallagher, the co-founder of the anti-gay marriage group National Organization for Marriage, is defending the priest who denied communion to a grieving woman at her mother’s funeral because she is a lesbian. Gallagher also took a swipe at the woman, Barbara Johnson, and the entire LGBT community: “The time to confess your sin to a priest is in the confessional, whose doors are always open, and not a few minutes before the Mass starts,” writes Gallagher over at the National Review. This outburst is just the latest in Gallagher’s long history of anti-gay rhetoric.
