[quote=Anonymous]The issue is a sensitive one because it exposes a fault line in the coalition of identity politics groups that constitute much of the democratic base. Particularly in an election year where Obama needs heavy turnout from both african americans, who do tend to oppose gay marriage on average, and urban progressives, who not only strongly favor gay marriage, but think that it is an issue upon which reasonable people cannot disagree. This makes the issue a difficult one to paper over. Yes, much of the opposition to gay marriage comes from evangelicals and mormons, but no one on the left cares what they do because they are the enemy. It is the in-house nature of the dispute on gay marriage between groups that are supposed to be on the same team that causes all the angst.[/quote]
