15. I'm not sure what the Democratic leadership is thinking.
Do they think that shitting on LGBT rights is only going to create backlash among LGBT activists and that it isn't a significant enough number to hurt their chances of winning? Do they honestly think straight people won't be leaving with them? An awful lot of the Democratic party's base is pretty hardcore on the idea of equal rights for everyone. Empathy is what's supposed to separate us from Republicans...When we lose our empathy and our desire for equality for all, what do we have left?
