'm surprised that there's been so little investigative reporting on NOM in general, its secret donors, and Maggie Gallagher in specific. They've become a very powerful, well-​moneyed force in blocking civil liberties for millions of Americans, and yet Gallagher has somehow flown beneath the radar, though she's quoted all the time. It's worth noting that even the co-​author of Gallagher's book "The Case for Marriage" -- sociologist Linda Waite -- remarked in a footnote that she and Gallagher parted company on whether or not the benefits of marriage should be extended to gay couples. Gallagher also has a husband named Raman Srivastav with whom she is never seen in public. There are no pictures of them together on the Net, which is odd for someone who claims to lead a "pro-​marriage" group (though NOM is clearly not that). As a journalist myself (though I'm working on a book and couldn't do this right now), I feel that there's a deeper story there that would be worth pursuing.
