Please accept my apologies for any equestrian manure in that earlier post.

But the core of my remark remains the same:

in 2009, the question was asked "where else would they go?" in order to dismiss marriage equality as part of the Democratic platform. It was not supposed to be electable.

Now, that same question is asked about another group, and their positions. Any advice you want to give them?
