I would like to ask Maggie Gallagher if she is opposed to civil unions. Would she be happy if her definition of “marriage” (a man and a woman joining together and raising children) is only limited to the realm of a religious rite? Should we legislate a “marriage culture” or are such cultural issues something that should be dealt with outside of the legal sphere?

I would also like to ask her why she feels she has the right to legislate a personal love relationship? Does she think that someone should have legislated her behavior of being a single mother in college (which she seems to say is harmful to children)?
