32 states have voted to not allow gay marriages in their respective states. 2000 African-American pastors told the Obama Administration point blank about a month ago not to have this in the party platform.
NC banned gay marriages 61% to 39%. I can't see how adopting this platform is going to help the Dems and Obama. I'm sure they are raising some money from it, but can't see how it offsets the lost votes. With 32 states overwhelmingly opposing gay marriage, the Dems adoption of this platform is out of the mainstream and extreme in regards to this issue and risks alienation of African-Americans and independents.
