Should gays & lesbians and their supporters leave the Democrats?

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

Im wondering, for the good of the party, if the gay community and their supporters should leave the Democratic Party so the Dems wont be tarred with this "poor moral values" brush.

These big big defeats of gay marriage should be a real signal that the vast majority of people in the US do not like lesbians or gays and what they are about, so heck, why should the Democrats be saddled with this alabtross of supporting what most people think is immoral and wrong.

Maybe the gays and lesbians could join the Greens or something. It seems kind of selfish to ask the Democrats to sacrifice their political chances and other worthy political goals (like health care for all, education aid, better wages and conditions, etc) just because they are pro-gay rights.

I hate to say this, but maybe this has to be done in order for the Dems to win again.
