Because...well, it always plays into the "special rights" stuff. And it causes some to run away from the whole issue.
The Democrats can stand for full equality in this country. The Democrats can stand as the party against discrimination of other Americans. It can be done, politically. Robert Reich talks in his book "Reason" about how the Democratic Party can support same-sex marriage.
Why do I need to leave the party to talk about my rights as an American?
