5. Before I answer....

...let me first say that I fully support gay marriage and equal rights for gays in every aspect of our society, including the military.

With that said, I think the reason many Dems are hesitant to support gays is because gay marriage has been successfully used as a wedge issue with which to beat Dems up, and Dems would rather focus on issues where the majority of the public is clearly on their side, at least in election years.

Not an excuse, of course; I'm just saying that's probably why.
