Page "Maggie Gallagher" Paragraph 21

On a February 2012 edition of Up with Chris Hayes on which Gallagher appeared for a segment on the revival of the " culture wars ", Gallagher was asked by The Nation editor Richard Kim about her support of gay reparative therapy.

Gallagher denied having ever supported ex-gay therapy and claimed that Kim was " making stuff up ".

Kim subsequently quoted from a 2001 column written by Gallagher praising Robert Spitzer for his research on the possibilities of ex-gay therapy and calling on then President George W. Bush to support federal funding for research into ex-gay therapy.
