I'm for gay marriage, but just calling those that are against it stupid or saying they can burn in hell isn't going to help the left's cause. In fact, its the push to the left on social issues that led to Bush getting the lead that he did.
Gay marriage along with other social issues are extremely important to those in the bible belt, as is reflected in the way that the gay marriage referendums were SOUNDLY defeated, often by an 80% majority.
These are people that the democratic party must work with if they want to succeed. There is no if ands or buts about it. If you ignore them or rankle them you will lose... every time.
