In 1997, Gallin was sued by two former employees alleging sexual harassment. The lawsuit alleged Gallin asked them to coordinate sexual visits with young men, as well as to offer their sexual services to potential clients to secure relationships. Gallin responded with a countersuit alleging his former employees had breached their contractual obligations with his firm and produced the sexual harassment allegations by way of distraction from their violations.

Gallin was openly gay. On February 11, 2011, Gallin married Bryan Fox, an artist and actor.

Gallin first battled cancer in 1988. On April 21, 2017, Gallin died following a long battle with multiple myeloma. He was 76.
